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 five retries, the client tries to connect to the secondary server. If the secondary server fails after five retries, the client times out. The LDAP client applies the access lists to manage the way traffic is forwarded.
