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 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.
