摘要:
A method and system for supplanting a first name base with a second name base. The system consolidates name bases from different network operating systems into a single name base administrable from a single administration utility. Existing first name base applications continue to execute without modification, as communications are transparently translated and redirected to the second name base, and responses translated and communicated back into a format associated with the first name base. The method and system simplify administration of the network, and consolidate multiple name bases into a single name base.
