External data source fields?

What is External Data Source? How to Configure while creation?
What is "URL" field?, what type of URL we have to give. (Where & How) to get that URL?

Thanks in Advance

External data source is actually called "Lightning Connect" now.  The external data source has to be formatted as oData 2.0.  I would highly recommend you step through the "Lightning Connect" trailhead module here: https://developer.salesforce.com/trailhead/module/lightning_connect. They have an easy to follow, step by step tutorial for setting up your first external data source.
