Figure 11-4 Network Directory Select Node Name

Step 1. In the node name field, type in the node name of one of the nodes on your network for which you want network directory information.

Step 2. Set the global/local flag for the entry by setting the value in the Global? field. Leave the default (Y) if you want to allow this entry to be merged into other directories using the MERGEDIR command. Change the setting to “no” (N) if this is a local entry and should not be copied to other configurations.

Step 3. Press the [Add] function key. You may add new entries as long as room remains in the file. If the file fills, you may use the Maintenance Mode command EXPANDDIR to expand the file. Refer to Using the Node Management Services (NMS) Utilities for details on maintenance mode.

Step 4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 for each node name you want to enter in the network directory.
