which daemons to spawn
• Opens the IPX driver
• Builds the lower multiplexor for IPX by
• Configuring the LANs
• Setting up Ethernet frame types
• Initializing IPX with information from the nwconfig file
• Setting up routing
• Starting IPX
• Builds the upper multiplexor for IPX by linking the SPX and NetBIOS drivers
• Spawns daemons according to parameters in the nwconfig file. The first daemon
spawned is SAPD followed by NWDIAG-IPX/SPX and NWUMPS
• Sets up the NetWare Virtual Terminal (NVT) according to the host machine’s
architecture
Once these steps are completed, the parent process exits, leaving NPSD as a
daemon.
The stopnps utility initiates shut down, causing NPSD to:
• Send a “going down” message to SAPD, which then sends out a “services going
down” packet
• Deconfigure NVT
• Send a “going down” message to RIP
• Bring down the protocol stack and associated daemons, causing “hang up”
messages to be sent to all open sockets
• Exit
NetWare Server object
A leaf object that represents a server running NetWare on your network.
The network address property identifies its location on the network. The
NetWare Server object is referred to in several other objects to specify where
to find items such as volumes.
