A network directory is used by the node for internetwork routing.
It is one of several ways of specifying fixed/hardcoded addresses
for specific node names, in cases where dynamic name resolution
cannot be used. It is also used for specifying unique node names
for a system which has multiple interfaces. Each entry in 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 "Networking Concepts"
for more information on network directory concepts and for guidelines as to
when you need to configure a network directory.
Figure 11-1 "Network Directory Configuration
Screen Flow" 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.

link, you will already have configured the network directory for that link.
