Policy Server Overview
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a standard directory server protocol. The LDAP
policy server client in the switch is based on RFC 2251. Currently, only LDAP servers are supported for
policy management.
When the policy server is connected to the switch, the switch is automatically configured to communicate
with the server to download and manage policies created by the PolicyView application. There is no
required user configuration. (Note that the LDAP policy server is automatically installed when the Policy-
View application is installed.)
Note. The switch has separate mechanisms for managing QoS policies stored on an LDAP server and QoS
policies configured directly on the switch. For more information about creating policies directly on the
switch, see
Chapter 21, "Configuring QoS."
Information about installing the LDAP policy server is included in this chapter. Consult the server manu-
facturer's documentation for detailed information about configuring the server.
