I am not quite sure what you are asking. If you are looking for the MAC address associated with an interface on the BIG-IP, the bigpipe command:
bigpipe interface show all
If you are looking for MAC addresses connected downstream from the BIG-IP, I don't think there is a command to handle this.
bigpipe arp show
Will give you devices in the arp table but this is on a VLAN level. You could tcpdump on the interface and then use a program like wireshark to view the MAC addresses, but this may be tedious. Here is an example:
tcpdump -ni 1.1 -w /var/tmp/interface1_1.pcap
Please be aware the tcpdump can use resources and unfiltered captures can grow quite large. If you are only looking for MAC address, I would suggest running tcpdump on a standby BIG-IP.
