Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

NAV knows what MAC addresses a registered device operates under. Although all physical addresses of all ports are usually fetched, the device's main address for communication is usually known from ARP data from the network routers.

Describe the solution you'd like

UiO has suggested through the NAV reference committee that it would be nice for the main MAC address to be displayed next to the device's IP address in ipdevinfo. Assume the best location would be right next to the address in this layout:

Unresolved questions

What should NAV do if there are multiple different MAC address matches for an IP address in ARP data?
