I think they referred to is as the "Built-In Address" rather than the more commonly known "Burned-In Address" that I'm sure most of us refer to it as. I got a kick out of watching a show last night, I believe "The Followers", where they wanted to find where a particular laptop was and they brought up that they have the BIA of the laptop. It's not common, but it is definitely possible. That being said, don't be surprised if you get duplicate MAC addresses in your organization. When searching I had to do it in 58-94-6B-32-66-F0, so it is a bit picky on search format.
One note, in the DB the MAC address is stored as just letters/numbers, no dashes or anything. Have a few months history on it over different IP's and such. I was able to confirm that it does this by going into the database and looking up where it stores the historical IP info and doing a count on the EndpointID to find multiple occurrences of the same MAC Address, picked one that had a lot, figured out what MAC it was and do a search on that. Ok, I thought it could, but I just definitely confirmed it for you.īy default it doesn't search on MAC addresses, but there is a down arrow in the search box that if you click on it gives you the option of what fields to search on.
