Thank you, William.

Sorry I wasn’t clear. Below is the excerpt from the article. Note they are 
saying “cn=replica” under “cn=config”, but the full DN is dn: 
cn=replica,cn=dc\3Dexample\2Cdc\3Dcom,cn=mapping tree,cn=config

That is, cn=replica is not _directly_ under cn=config. Doesn’t cn=…,cn=…,cn=… 
imply hierarchy? In other words, I’m confused how ldapsearch could find the 
replica entry if the base was specifying just cn=config and not 
cn=dc\3Dexample\2Cdc\3Dcom,cn=mapping tree,cn=config

That’s why I think I might have some conceptual misunderstanding about LDAP in 
general.

Thanks again.

List the currently defined and valid replica IDs of all masters which are 
replicating databases by searching the replica configuration entries DN 
cn=replica under the cn=config suffix.
Note

Consumers and read-only nodes always have the replica ID set to 65535, and 
nsDS5ReplicaType: 3 signifies a master.
# ldapsearch -o ldif-wrap=no -xLLL -H m1.example.com m2.example.com -D 
"cn=Directory Manager" -W -b cn=config cn=replica nsDS5ReplicaId 
nsDS5ReplicaType
dn: cn=replica,cn=dc\3Dexample\2Cdc\3Dcom,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
nsDS5ReplicaId: 1
nsDS5ReplicaType: 3

dn: cn=replica,cn=dc\3Dexample\2Cdc\3Dcom,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
nsDS5ReplicaId: 20
nsDS5ReplicaType: 3
