NAME¶
nrattach - Start a NET/ROM interface
SYNOPSIS¶
nrattach [-i inetaddr] [-m mtu] [-v] port
DESCRIPTION¶
Nrattach takes many of the parameters for the port from the
nrports(5)
file. The paclen parameter is used for the device mtu unless overridden by a
value on the command line. The port argument is the name of a port as given in
the
nrports(5) file.
Nrattach tries to find the first free NET/ROM device in the system. The
devices checked are nr0, nr1, nr2 and nr3 in that order. If no free NET/ROM
device is available an error is generated and the program terminates.
OPTIONS¶
- -i inetaddr
- Set the internet address of the interface. This address may
either be a dotted decimal address or a host name.
- -m mtu
- Sets the mtu of the interface. If this value is not given
then the value is taken from the paclen parameter in nrports.
- -v
- Display the version.
SEE ALSO¶

nrparms(4),
nrports(5),
ifconfig(8).
BUGS¶
The program can be run many times with the same arguments creating many
instances of the same attributes on different devices. Not a good idea.
