mactelnet - A tool for telneting via MAC addresses
mactelnet [options]
<MAC-Address|hostname>
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.
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.
