First, you have to register the system with Novell Customer Center (NCC). Unless you have a Subscription Management Tool (SMT) server already set up, in which case you register it with the SMT server. You can use: YaST -> Support -> Novell Customer Center Configuration or run the suse_register command manually. I would recommend using YaST. If all is successful, nu.novell.com (or your SMT server) will be automatically added as an update source. If you do have an SMT server, make sure you enable mirroring for SLES11 before registering your SLES11 system against it. If you don't, the automatic addition of the SMT server as an update source won't happen.
