Syntax Definitions
ip_address The IP address of the LDAP-enabled directory server.
port_number The TCP/IP port number used by the switch to connect to the directory
server.
up Enables the specified policy server to download rules to the switch
(servers are up by default.)
down Prevents the specified policy server from downloading rules to the
switch.
preference Determines which directory server is used for policy downloads when
multiple servers are configured. The range is 0–255. The server with the
highest value is used as the policy server. If that server becomes
unavailable, the server with the next highest preference value is used for
policy downloads.
user_name The user name for accessing the database entries on the directory server.
When spaces are used in the user name, quotation marks must be
included: “Directory Manager” is an example.
password The password associated with the user name. The password must match
the password defined on the directory server.
search_string The root of the directory on the search that will be searched for policy
information. Typically, the search_string includes o=organization and
c=country. For example, o=company and c=country.
ssl Enables a Secure Socket Layer between the switch and the policy
server.
no ssl Disables a Secure Socket Layer between the switch and the policy
server.
