NAME
mactelnet - A tool for telneting via MAC addresses
SYNOPSIS
mactelnet [options] <MAC-Address|hostname>
DESCRIPTION
This tool enables you to telnet other RouterOS or MAC-Telnetd enabled devices. You can connect to either a hostname or a MAC address. If specified, the hostname (identity) will be looked up via MNDP discovery.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax. A summary of options is included below.
|
-l |
This will discover RouterOS or MAC-Telnetd enabled devices. It will list the MAC-address software version, and uptime of every device or machine it discovers. To exit the discovery, use Control + C | ||
|
-n |
Do not use broadcast packets. A tad less insecure but requires root privileges. This means that ethernet packets will have the specified mac-address as the packet destination, instead of using the ethernet broadcast address. | ||
|
-t |
Amount of seconds to wait for a response on each interface. If you have several network interfaces, this is the timeout value per interface. | ||
|
-u |
Specify username. Without this option, you will need to enter the username in a interactive prompt. | ||
|
-p |
Specify password. Without this option, you will need to enter the password in a interactive prompt. | ||
|
-a |
Specify the path of the autologin configuration file. The default path for this file is ˜/.mactelnet. The format for this file is standard INI file layout. | ||
|
-A |
Do not use the autologin configuration file. Interactively ask for username and password. | ||
|
-h |
Show summary of options. | ||
|
-v |
Show version of program. |
