The screens in this chapter are those you would see when configuring the
Network Directory. The Network Directory branch of NMMGR begins with a screen
called the Network Directory Main screen. Figure
13-1 "Network Directory Main Screen Flow" shows the screen flow for
configuring the Directory screens. Screens unique to the Network Directory are
indicated by bold boxed screens. [FUNCTION] denotes the function key
used at a screen to invoke the next screen on the screen flow.

The network directory is a set of files
that contain information used by the node to communicate with other nodes in
the internetwork. (An internetwork or
internet is a collection of networks.)
The network directory is managed through two interfaces: NMMGR screens, and a
command-driven interface called
maintenance mode, to collect and merge
directory information from remote nodes into the directory on the local node.
This chapter describes the screen interface along with a general discussion of
the functions of the network directory. The command-driven interface
(maintenance mode) is described in detail in Using the Node Management
Services (NMS) Utilities.
You use NMMGR to perform the following network directory functions:
Add, modify, and delete entries in the directory.
Review and inspect directory information.
Merge a remote directory with a directory on the local
node.
Automatically update directories on a group of remote nodes by
using a background stream job, controlled from a central
administrative node. Central administrative nodes are described in
more detail later in this chapter.
