Configuring IP Routing
Configuring Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP)
LDAP allows you to access the “Access Control Lists”(ACLs), retrieve
them from a database on an LDAP server, and apply them to the
Avaya P550R/P580/P880/P882 Multiservice switches.
You can also:
■ View LDAP statistics for the switch
■ Configure a primary and secondary LDAP server
■ Configure a search base for the switch to contact in response
to an LDAP request.
Configuring a secondary server ensures that LDAP requests can be
fulfilled if a primary server fails. The LDAP client sends a search for
access control lists to the primary server if the client finds the
primary server. The primary server retrieves the access lists from the
LDAP database and returns them to the switch’s LDAP client. If the
client does not find the primary server and if the primary server
does not respond after three retries, the client tries to connect to the
secondary server. If the secondary server fails after three retries, the
client times out. The LDAP client applies the access lists to manage
the way traffic is forwarded.
Configuring LDAP Settings
You can configure LDAP settings from either the Web Agent or the
CLI.
