Chapter 11  Configuring the Network Directory 

A network directory is used by the node for internetwork routing.  Each
entryin a network directory consists of a node name associated with an IP
address, the network type, and an additional address, if necessary.  The
network directory uses the internet protocol (IP) address to transfer
data between networks.  See chapter 2 for more information on network
directory concepts and for guidelines as to when you need to configure a
network directory.

Figure 11-1 shows the screen flow for configuring the network directory
screens.  Screens unique to the network directory configuration are
indicated by bold boxed screens.  [FUNCTION] denotes the function key
used at a screen to invoke the next screen on the screen flow.
