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.
