Overview

This tool enables you to ping other RouterOS or MAC-Telnetd enabled devices. You can ping 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.
