To change node information, you must edit the local name file and add, modify, or delete node definitions. A description of how to enter a node definition is placed at the top of the file when it is first created. This information should not be deleted. When adding a new node to the text file, specify the addressing information either as a simple address or as a partial DECnet-Plus addressing tower set. Specifying the tower set makes network connection establishment more efficient. If you do not know the tower set for a node, specify the simple Phase IV address or NET (network entity title) and use the GET TOWERS command to obtain the real tower set. Once the node (or nodes) has been added to or removed from the text file, use the LOAD command to make the change to the DECdns local namespace.
