NAME
macping - A tool for pinging other RouterOS or mactelnetd devices SYNOPSIS
mactelnet [options] <MAC-Address|hostname> DESCRIPTION
This tool enables you to ping other RouterOS or MAC-Telnetd enabled devices. You can ping either a hostname or a MAC address. If speci- fied, 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. -f Fast mode, do not wait before sending next ping request. The next ping will be sent immediately when the last ping is received. This cannot be used with -c 0 -s Specify the amount of bytes to send in each ping packet, up to ~1400 bytes. -c Number of packets to send before exiting. A value of 0 means unlimited packets and the tool must be exited with Control + C. -h Show summary of options. -v Show version of program. SEE ALSO

NAME
mactelnetd - Telnet daemon for MAC-address connections SYNOPSIS
mactelnetd [options] DESCRIPTION
This daemon listens for telnet connections from Mikrotik RouterOS devices or mactelnet clients on the same physical network. It also announces it's hostname via the MNDP protocol every minute. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax. A summary of options is included below. -n Do not use broadcast packets. A tad less insecure. This means that ethernet packets will have the mac-address of the client as the packet destination, instead of using the ethernet broadcast address. -h Show summary of options. -v Show version of program. FILES
/etc/mactelnetd.users This file contains a line separated list of users that will have access to your machine. Usernames and passwords are separated by colon. This file is read each time a user connects. SEE ALSO
