NDS Tree
131
NDS Tree
The NDS tree the print server object was created in. This is only
needed if your environment uses more than one NDS tree.
Mode
The mode the NIC will run in. This can be auto, bindery, or NDS.
The default is auto so that the NIC can autosense which mode it
should run in. See
“NetWare Version 4.x and 5.x RPRINTER
Setup” on page 151 for information on what to do when using both
bindery and NDS file servers at the same time.
Preferred File Server (NDS and Bindery Setups)
In a bindery setup, the preferred file server specifies the file server
on which the print server object was created. In an NDS setup, it
specifies a file server on which the print server object resides.
Since NDS is distributed, most administrators will not know which
file server(s) the print server object is actually stored on, so in most
NDS environments this option is not used. This feature is useful in a
large Novell network, so that the NIC does not ignore important file
servers. If you are setting up the NIC to work with a Bindery file
server, it is a good idea to set a preferred server on the NIC.
To view which file servers the NIC does acknowledge at a given
time, use the
debug nest fserver command. For more
information, see
“Complete Command List” on page 265.
