evaluating the results.

The ﬁrst message is a service request message for NetWare servers; the second

is a service request message for UnixWare servers.

If there is no response to the server request messages, an IPX Router

Information Protocol (RIP) message is sent requesting information on all

networks.

If a response is received to any of the messages, nwdiscover extracts the

network and frame type from the reply.

The network information is sent to stdout.

• If an IPX network is already configured via nwcm, it is discovered first by

nwdiscover.

• If no reply is received to any of the request messages, nwdiscover uses the

information already configured, or if nothing is configured, it invents a network

number, configures the specified frame type, and configures the specified device.
