+If you already know to which daemons your daemon should make meta-connections,
+you should configure that now as well.
+Suppose you want to connect to a daemon named "bar", run:
+
+@example
+tincctl -n @var{netname} config add connectto bar
+@end example
+
+Note that you specify the Name of the other daemon here, not an IP address or hostname!
+When you start tinc, and it tries to make a connection to "bar",
+it will look for a host configuration file named @file{hosts/bar},
+and will read Address statements and public keys from that file.
+
+@subsubheading Step 2. Exchanging configuration files.
+
+If your daemon has a ConnectTo = bar statement in its @file{tinc.conf} file,
+or if bar has a ConnectTo your daemon, then you both need each other's host configuration files.
+You should send @file{hosts/@var{name}} to bar, and bar should send you his file which you should move to @file{hosts/bar}.
+If you are on a UNIX platform, you can easily send an email containing the necessary information using the following command
+(assuming the owner of bar has the email address bar@@example.org):
+
+@example
+tincctl -n @var{netname} export | mail -s "My config file" bar@@example.org
+@end example
+
+If the owner of bar does the same to send his host configuration file to you,
+you can probably pipe his email through the following command,
+or you can just start this command in a terminal and copy&paste the email:
+
+@example
+tincctl -n @var{netname} import
+@end example
+
+If you are the owner of bar yourself, and you have SSH access to that computer,
+you can also swap the host configuration files using the following commands:
+
+@example
+tincctl -n @var{netname} export | ssh bar.example.org tincctl -n @var{netname} import
+ssh bar.example.org tincctl -n @var{netname} export | tincctl -n @var{netname} import
+@end example
+
+You should repeat this for all nodes you ConnectTo, or which ConnectTo you.
+However, remember that you do not need to ConnectTo all nodes in the VPN;
+it is only necessary to create one or a few meta-connections,
+after the connections are made tinc will learn about all the other nodes in the VPN,
+and will automatically make other connections as necessary.
