$ mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.1.1 -p 1833 -u user -P pass -t router/id

$ mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.1.1 -p 1833 -u user -P pass -t router/get -m id

The '''mosquitto_pub''' command is used to publish messages to specified topics. '''-m''' defines the message that you're publishing. Again, replace the values given with the ones in your configuration. The whole exchange is presented in the picture below:
