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.
