Command Shell Overview

The NIC comes with an in-depth command shell called npsh. It allows you to manipulate objects like destinations, I/O ports, and models and provides monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.

npsh Access Methods

There are many ways this command shell can be accessed:

built in HTML forms

a Telnet session from a TCP/IP host to the NIC

a single remote shell command (e.g., rsh, rcmd, remsh) from a TCP/IP host

Main npsh Command Prefixes

All configurable commands either start with store or set, and view commands start with list.

NOTE: If the store prefix is used, the NIC must be repowered to make the changes take effect. Since store affects flash memory settings only, the print server must reset and read the new settings now in flash memory.
