Alternately the iDRAC MAC information can be obtained from the System Information on the iDRAC
Dashboard page.
IOM Port Information
Subsequently, viewing the LLDP neighbors shows the iDRAC MAC address in addition to the NIC MAC
address of the respective mezzanine card.

In the example deployment validation of LLDP neighbors,
Ethernet1/1/1, ethernet 1/1/3, and
ethernet 1/1/71-1/1/72 represent the two MX740c sleds in one chassis. The first entry is the iDRAC
for the compute sled. The iDRAC uses connectivity to the mezzanine card to advertise LLDP information. The
second entry is the mezzanine card itself.
Ethernet 1/71/1 and ethernet 1/71/2 represent the MX740c compute sleds connected to the
MX7116n FEM in the other chassis.
Ethernet range
ethernet1/1/37-1/1/40 are the VLTi interfaces for the SmartFabric. Last,
ethernet1/1/41-1/1/42 are the links in a port channel connected to the Z9100-ON leaf switches.
