ap-auth(8)

💅 ap-auth — the AP authorized MAC change utility, bestie

okay so this is ap-auth, from the System Manager's Manual, and it's literally the little command-line baddie that changes the list of authorised MAC addresses on your AP. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ap-auth -i ip -c community -u filename -d filename

that's the shape of it. all four flags, one line, she's efficient. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so ap-auth is a command line utility to change the list of authorised MAC addresses. and it only supports ATMEL410 — like, that's the whole support list, no cap, don't come at her asking about other hardware. 💀

the two filename flags do the actual moving of the list:

• -d filename — download list of authorised MAC addresses from AP to a file
• -u filename — upload list of authorised MAC addresses from a file to AP

it's giving "one direction at a time, but both directions exist". icon. 🌈

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -i ip — AP ip address. that's the address of your access point, the one you're talking to. 📍
• -c community — SNMP community string. yeah she speaks SNMP, and this is the community string she uses to get in. 🔑
• -d filename — download list of authorised MAC addresses from AP to a file. the AP gives, the file receives. 💾
• -u filename — upload list of authorised MAC addresses from a file to AP. the file gives, the AP receives. 📤

lowkey important: both -u and -d want a filename, not a folder, not a vibe. actual file. k? 💖
