The primary directory service is considered the first choice to use when looking up naming information for the system. Enter an ordered list of the directory services you want to use on the system. If you enter more than one directory service, separate each service with a comma. The primary name service is DECdns. Note If your node is also a DECdns server, the primary name service must be DECdns.
Full Name Enter a node full name for each directory service chosen.
The node full name is the name of your system's node object in the directory service. It includes the namespace nickname and the full list of directories leading to the node object name. The node synonym is an alphanumeric character string between one and six characters long. If this system had previously been running DECnet Phase IV software, then you should use the old Phase IV node name as the synonym. If this system is joining a DECnet network for the first time, you can use any name for the synonym, as long as it meets the criteria listed above, and is unique within the network.
