NAME

       rsattach - Start a Rose interface

SYNOPSIS

       rsattach [-i inetaddr] [-v] port

DESCRIPTION

       Rsattach  takes  many  of  the parameters for the port from the rsports(5) file. The port argument is the
       name of a port as given in the rsports(5) file.

       Rsattach tries to find the free Rose device in the system. The device name checked is rose0. If  no  free
       Rose 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.

       -v              Display the version.

SEE ALSO

       rose(4), rsparms(4), rsports(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.
