MAC Address not displayed on screen for Apple computers

Pigeo commented 1 month ago

Bug reporting acknowledgment

Yes, I read it

Professional support

None

Describe the bug

In the Network ports section of a computer, the details shown on screen by networkport.form.php correctly display the MAC Addresses for PC computers (regardless of the manufacturer's brand), but not for Apple computers.

(however if you use the REST API, you can successfully retrieve the MAC adresses of Apple computers' network ports, proving that they are effectively stored in GLPI's database, but simply just not displayed on screen)

To reproduce

Install GLPI Agent on any Mac and try to find its network ports' MAC adresses from GLPI's web console.

Expected behavior

It should be possible to get the MAC addresses of every network ports of any Apple computer, right directly from GLPI's web console.

Operating system

MacOSX

GLPI Agent version

1.7.1

GLPI version

10.0.12

GLPIInventory plugin or other plugin version

GLPI Inventory v1.3.4

Additional context

Hint: could this be due to the GLPI Agent not specifying the instantiation_type of the network interface? (I see in the REST API that, for PC computers it's either "instantiation_type": "NetworkPortWifi" or "instantiation_type": "NetworkPortEthernet", but for Apple computers it's always "instantiation_type": null…)

Hi @Pigeo

you are indeed right. Maybe this is not correct to not display mac address even if it is set and port type is not known.

But I'm still preparing a fix to detect type as actually expected by glpi.

To be sure to not miss your cases, can you share the output of following command ?

/sbin/ifconfig -a
networksetup -listallhardwareports

Not original poster, but here's mine (mac addresses obfuscated, but matching respectively between ifconfig and networksetup). Please note that I have Lenovo dock attached. Macbook M1 Pro, 2021. MacOS Sonoma 14.5

Hi @g-bougard, thank you for your responsive feedback! I agree with you that glpi should always display the MAC address (as long as there's one), even if the port type is unknown, but that's another story…

Here is the output from a MacBook Pro 16" Intel (2019) running Catalina (NB: MAC and IP addresses have been tampered for security reasons) :

VLAN Configurations
===================

Some explanations:

the internal WiFi of the Mac is en0 (and it does not have any internal RJ45 port)
the 4 thunderbolt / USB-C ports of the Mac are labelled en1 to en4
the bluetooth device of the Mac is en6
utun4 is the VPN client (Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility) - it's only there when the VPN is connected (and it never shows in networksetup -listallhardwareports, it's only listed in /sbin/ifconfig -a)
there's a docking station (Dell WD19TB) attached to this Mac, it has an RJ45 network interface (labelled en35 in the output above)
there's an iPhone that's currently connected to this docking station, through a USB cable (labelled en37 in the output above)
the bridge0 has same MAC address than en1

Note that renaming the network connection (in macOS System Preferences > Network > "rename the service") does not change the name that is displayed in the above outputs (I had renamed my docking station's RJ45 interface to "WD19" but it still displays it as "USB 10/100/1000 LAN" / "en35" in networksetup -listallhardwareports).

I suspect it might be related to https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi-inventory-plugin/issues/380 as we're currently on 10.x branch and when new computers are being added, the MAC address is not just being shown.

The symptom is that while on computer page -> network ports, then mac address is being shown, but when one opens a port there's no field named "MAC". This is a case where the computers being added are in fact Windows computers, and using fusioninventory agent (we are trying to migrate to glpi-agent, but agent 1.8 is giving us trouble https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi-agent/issues/670 so waiting for 1.9 to be released currently)

VLAN Configurations
===================

Notes:

the internal WiFi of the Mac is en0 (and it does not have any internal RJ45 port)
the 3 thunderbolt / USB-C ports of the Mac are labelled en1 to en3
the bluetooth device of the Mac is not listed! (I don't understand why...)
there's a USB-C 6-in-1 adapter (Selore UC0116C) attached to this Mac, but it has no network port (as far as I can see on the device)
there's another Mac attached to this Mac, in "Target Mode" (through a Thunderbolt cable). It's a MacBook Pro 13" 2017 without Touch Bar (model "2 Thunderbolt ports").
I'm not sure what are en4 and en5 exactly... (they remain there even after disconnecting any peripherals from the Mac, and there's no VPN client installed on this computer)

Thank you all, this should help me to cover most cases for port type detection.

g-bougard commented 1 month ago

Hi @Pigeo & @AldarisPale

please, can you try next nightly build and tell if the result is as expected in GLPI ?

Pigeo commented 1 month ago

Hi @g-bougard, I confirm the fix is working with the nightly build. Thank you very much!
