linux/Centos下查看网卡Mac地址，输入命令:
#ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:e4:56:2E:D8:20
00:e4:56:2E:D8:20即是你的MAC地址。
linux/Centos下以root权限临时修改MAC地址：
1）闭网卡设备
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
2）修改MAC地址
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 hw ether MAC地址
3）重启网卡
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
4）查看修改是否生效：
ifconfig eth0 | grep HWaddr
注意:上述修改MAC地址只是暂时的,系统重启后，系统会恢复原物理MAC地址。
Linux/Centos下如何永久修改网卡MAC地址
网上有很多关于linux下修改MAC地址的方法，经过测试，最终解决方法如下:
误区一：
#ifconfig eth0 down /*禁掉eth0网卡，这里以eth0网卡为例*/
#ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE /*修改eth0网卡的MAC地址*/
#ifconfig eth0 up /*重新启动eth0网卡*/
然后重新启动主机。
结论：按照这种方法修改MAC地址，重新启动主机系统后，MAC地址会自动还原。
误区二：
#ifconfig eth0 down
#cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
#vi ifcfg-eth0
修改其中的"HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
#ifconfig eth0 up
#service network start
结论：按照这种方法修改MAC地址后将无法启用网络，会出现如下提示：
“Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected,ignoring.”
在linux/Centos环境下将修改后的MAC地址永久保存的正确的步骤如下：
#ifconfig eth0 down
#cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
#vi ifcfg-eth0
修改其中的"HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"为"MACADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
#ifconfig eth0 up
#service network start
注意:关键词HWADDR和MACADDR是有区别的。
最后附ifconfig命令格式:
ifconfig --help
