DISPLAY SERVERS lists server address names for services such as

File services

eDirectory

Print services

Storage Management Services^TM (SMS^TM)

The following sample shows the beginning of a typical display:AAA 4 ACAPULCO 5 AIRBUS 7ANATOL 4 ASSURE1 4 ASSURE2 4BEAST 3 BANCROFT 6 BREMEN 3
The number listed after the server name indicates the number of routing hops between this server and the listed servers. Your server is indicated by 0 hops

Servers more than 16 hops away aren't recognized.

DISPLAY SERVERS also displays eDirectory trees and network addresses. A server can be displayed many times, once for each service that it advertises.
For example, a NetWare server running IPX would be listed at least twice because it would use SAP both for eDirectory and for advertising file services.
