Adding an LDAP server to the client server list

The following procedure configures an LDAP server on an LDAP client device.

In privileged EXEC mode, use the configure terminal command to enter global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal
```
Use the ldap-server-host command to set the parameters for the LDAP server.

This command places you into the LDAP server configuration submode where you can modify the server default settings.
```
device(config)# ldap-server host 10.24.65.6
device(config-host-10.24.65.6/mgmt-vrf)#
```

Modify any settings, such as the domain name or retry limit, in this configuration mode (refer to the table in Configuring an Active Directory server on the client side).

device(config-host-10.24.65.6/mgmt-vrf)# basedn security.brocade.com
device(config-host-10.24.65.6/mgmt-vrf)# port 3890 timeout 8
device(config-host-10.24.65.6/mgmt-vrf)# retries 3

Confirm the LDAP settings with the do show running-config ldap-server command.

Attributes holding default values are not displayed.

device(config-host-10.24.65.6/mgmt-vrf)# do show running-config ldap-server host 10.24.65.6 
ldap-server host 10.24.65.6 use-vrf mgmt-vrf
port 3890 retries 3 timeout 8 basedn security.brocade.com

Use the exit command to return to global configuration mode.
```
device(config-host-10.24.65.6/mgmt-vrf)# exit
```
