The NETADMIN and NetWare Administrator utilities allow you to see and
change properties for any object that you have sufficient rights to.

protocol stacks to share the network hardware and media transparently.
In a NetWare Services system, ODI runs only on clients.
The following figure illustrates the components of the ODI model in the
client environment.
