Hi,
I'm doing some testing on my network and having the following outcome for
sudo nmap -sV -vv -PN 192.168.1.1:
PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION
80/tcp open http Linksys WAG200GB WAP http config
443/tcp open tcpwrapped
1863/tcp open tcpwrapped
1864/tcp open tcpwrapped
4443/tcp open tcpwrapped
5190/tcp open tcpwrapped
5566/tcp open tcpwrapped
49152/tcp open http Intel UPnP reference SDK httpd 1.2 (UPnP 1.0, platform Linux 2.4.17_mvl21-malta-mips_fp_le)
MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:80:32 (Cisco-Linksys)
Service Info: OS: Linux; Device: WAP
When I check the status in my Linksys router (thru web-interface), I see the following:
MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:80:33 (For gateway!)
Thought the mac was a "unique identifier" for the router.
Is it correct that th're two MAC's, One for local one for gateway? Or is it spoofed?
Thanks in advance!
Router: Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway WAG200G
Lap-Jap: ASUS K something. UBUNTU 12:04 LTS
Scanned the local net over wi-fi and had the same result: MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:80:32 (Cisco-Linksys)
Checked the the router physical as well and there is only one MAC written on there, the one that ends on 32...
When I check the status in my Linksys router (thru web-interface), I see the following:
MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:80:33 (For gateway!)
well, pls clarify what "For gateway" means?
basic routers typically have two iface's, each with their own MAC. a wifi cable modem might have three, one WAN, one LAN-wired, and one LAN-WiFi. some Wifi is layer-2 to the LAN-wired switch, etc.
