MTEST(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						  MTEST(8)

NAME

     mtest -- test multicast socket operations

SYNOPSIS

     mtest

DESCRIPTION

     The mtest utility is a small program for testing multicast socket operations.

     It accepts the following commands, interactively, or as part of a scripted input file (useful for automated testing):

	   a ifname mac-addr	     Join the link-layer group address mac-addr on interface ifname.  The group address should be in IEEE 802 MAC
				     format, delimited by colon (':') characters.
	   d ifname mac-addr	     Leave the link-layer group address mac-addr on interface ifname.
	   m ifname 1/0 	     Set or reset ALLMULTI mode on interface ifname.  This option is deprecated and is now a no-op.
	   p ifname 1/0 	     Set or reset promiscuous mode on interface ifname.

	   j mcast-addr ifname [source-addr]
				     Join the multicast address mcast-addr on the interface with name ifname.

				     If an optional source source-addr is specified, a source-specific join will be performed; if mtest is already
				     joined to the multicast address, the source will be added to its filter list.

	   l mcast-addr ifname [source-addr]
				     Leave the multicast address mcast-addr on the interface with address ifname.  If a source source-addr is
				     specified, only that source will be left.
	   i mcast-addr ifname n source-addr ...
				     Set the socket with membership of mcast-addr on interface ifname to include filter mode, and add n sources
				     beginning with source-addr to the inclusion filter list.
	   e mcast-addr ifname n source-addr ...
				     Set the socket with membership of mcast-addr on interface ifname to exclude filter mode, and add n sources
				     beginning with source-addr to the exclusion filter list.
	   t mcast-addr ifname source-addr
				     Set the socket with membership of mcast-addr on interface ifname to block traffic from source source-addr.
	   b mcast-addr ifname source-addr
				     Set the socket with membership of mcast-addr on interface ifname to allow traffic from source source-addr.

	   g mcast-addr ifname n     Print n source filter entries for mcast-addr on interface ifname.

	   f filename		     Read commands from the file filename.
	   s n			     Sleep for n seconds.
	   ?			     List legal commands.
	   q			     Quit the program.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

     For each command implemented by mtest, the address family of each argument must be identical; it is not possible to mix IPv4 multicast mem-
     berships with IPv6, for example.

     To support IPv6, all commands have now changed to accept an interface name rather than an interface address.  For IPv4, the program will per-
     form a lookup of the primary IP address based on the interface name.  This may fail if no primary IP address is assigned.

HOSTAPD_CLI(1)						  hostapd command-line interface					    HOSTAPD_CLI(1)

NAME

       hostapd_cli - hostapd command-line interface

SYNOPSIS

       hostapd_cli [-p<path>] [-i<ifname>] [-a<path>] [-hvB] [command..]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the hostapd_cli utility.

       hostapd_cli is a command-line interface for the hostapd daemon.

       hostapd	is  a  user  space  daemon  for  access point and authentication servers.  It implements IEEE 802.11 access point management, IEEE
       802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticators and RADIUS authentication server.  For more information about hostapd refer to the hostapd(8) man page.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.	For a complete description, run hostapd_cli from the command line.

       -p<path>
	      Path to find control sockets.

	      Default: /var/run/hostapd

       -i<ifname>
	      Interface to listen on.

	      Default: first interface found in socket path.

       -a<path>
	      Run in daemon mode executing the action file based on events from hostapd.

       -B     Run a daemon in the background.

       -h     Show usage.

       -v     Show hostapd_cli version.

COMMANDS

       A summary of commands is included below.  For a complete description, run hostapd_cli from the command line.

       mib    Get MIB variables (dot1x, dot11, radius).

       sta <addr>
	      Get MIB variables for one station.

       all_sta
	      Get MIB variables for all stations.

       help   Get usage help.

       interface [ifname]
	      Show interfaces/select interface.

       level <debug level>
	      Change debug level.

       license
	      Show full hostapd_cli license.

       quit   Exit hostapd_cli.
