NetWare Glossary
R
information is then transmitted to the resource through the appropriate
daemon and then back through the daemon and the SNMP agent to the
source of the request.
See also “NetWare management agents”; “Network management.”
Remote administration
The use terminal emulation by network supervisors to run configuration (for
example, nwcm) and system management utilities from a client rather than
from the host machine or other servers.
Remote administration can provide greater server security since servers can
be locked in a safe place without keyboards and monitors.
Under NetWare Services all users logged into the system as HP-UX users
are capable of administering the system, provided they have the appropriate
privileges. Administration is accomplished by running the appropriate
utilities. This varies from native NetWare, which has a set of special remote
utilities, such as rconsole.
Remote boot
See “Remote Reset.”
Remote connection
A connection between a LAN on one end and a workstation or network on
the other, often using telephone lines and modems.
A remote connection allows data to be sent and received across greater
distances than those allowed by normal cabling.
Remote Reset
The procedure that allows you to boot a DOS workstation (including a
diskless workstation) from a remote boot image file on a NetWare server,
rather than from a boot diskette in the workstation's local drive.
For a workstation to boot remotely, the remote program load (RPL) ROM
must be installed on the workstation's network board.
