mactelnet(1) 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.
