In This Chapter - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850-48 Network Configuration Manual

Quality of Service (QoS) policies that are configured through Alcatel-Lucent's PolicyView network
management application are stored on a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server. Policy-
View is an OmniVista application that runs on an attached workstation.

In This Chapter

This chapter describes how LDAP directory servers are used with the switch for policy management.
There is no required configuration on the switch. When policies are created on the directory server through
PolicyView, the PolicyView application automatically configures the switch to communicate with the
server. This chapter includes information about modifying configuration parameters through the
Command Line Interface (CLI) if manual reconfiguration is necessary. For more details about the syntax
of commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Throughout this chapter the term policy server is used to refer to LDAP directory servers used to store
policies. Procedures described in this chapter include:
