Configuring Directory Connection Properties

Use the following configuration statements to configure directory properties for a component:

slot number component-name initial directory-connection {

    url url; 

    backup-urls [backup-urls...]; 

    principal principal;

    credentials credentials; 

    protocol (ldaps); 

    timeout timeout; 

    check-interval check-interval; 

    blacklist; 

    snmp-agent; 

}

To configure directory connection properties for a component:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that specifies the directory configuration for a component on a slot.
    2. user@host# edit slot number component initial directory-connection

For example:

user@host# edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection
  1. Specify the URL that identifies the location of the primary directory server. 
    2. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]

    user@host# set url url

On a C-series platform, this value is ldap://127.0.0.1:389.

  1. (Optional) Specify URLs that identify the locations of backup directory servers. Backup servers are used if the primary directory server is not accessible. 
    2. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]

    user@host# set backup-urls directory-backup-url1 directory-backup-url2
  2. Specify the DN that the SRC component uses for authentication to access the directory. 
    3. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]

    user@host# set principal principal
  3. Specify the password with which the SRC component accesses the directory. 
    4. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]

    user@host# set credentials credentials
  4. (Optional) Specify whether the connection to the directory uses secure LDAP. If you do not configure a security protocol, plain socket is used. 
    5. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]

    user@host# set protocol ldaps
  5. (Optional) Specify the maximum amount of time during which the directory must respond to a connection request. 
    6. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]

    user@host# set timeout timeout
  6. (Optional) Specify the time interval at which the software attempts to connect to the directory. 
    7. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]

    user@host# set check-interval check-interval
  7. (Optional) Enable the directory eventing system to prevent a connection to a directory after the directory fails to respond during an interval in which the directory was polled 10 times. 
    8. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]

    user@host# set blacklist
  8. Specify that the SDX SNMP agent exports MIBs for this directory connection. 
    9. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]

    user@host# set snmp-agent
