npsh nvplist

Lists all of the Ethernet Interface devices on the network; each
name is in the following format:

For the Ethernet Adapter, the default is M_xxxxxx

where xxxxxx represents the last six digits of the network adapter's
Ethernet address (e.g., M_091C1A). This is regardless of whether it
is configured as a PSERVER or as an RPRINTER.

npsh <unitname>

you to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the unit with the built-in
command set.

npsh <unitname> <command>

instead of entering into a complete session.

To communicate with the unit using npsh.exe:

1.

From a DOS prompt on a Novell workstation, begin an npsh
session with the unit:

npsh unitname

A standard login screen displays prompting you for the login
name and password.

Log in to the unit as root user:

root

NOTE: Root users require the use of a password as configured in

the unit user list.
