Step 2: set up name-to-address mapping

Name-to-address mapping consists of routines that application programs can call to determine the addresses of services and machines on the network. These routines are combined into libraries, with one library associated with each available transport provider. For every network available to the local system, the network administrator must create and maintain the following files used by the library routines:

The files that support TCP/IP must be located in /etc. The files that support other networks must be located in /etc/net/transport, where transport is the name of the transport provider.

For more information, see ``Administering name-to-address mapping''.
