Configure FreeIPA Replication.
[1] Install FreeIPA server's tools on the Replica Host and change DNS settings.
[root@repl01 ~]#
dnf -y install freeipa-server freeipa-server-dns bind bind-dyndb-ldap
[root@repl01 ~]#
nmcli c modify eno16777736 ipv4.dns 10.0.0.30

[root@repl01 ~]#
nmcli c down eno16777736; nmcli c up eno16777736

[2] Add DNS entry for Replica Host on FreeIPA server.
# ipa dnsrecord-add [domain name] [record name] [record type] [record]

[root@dlp ~]#
ipa dnsrecord-add srv.world repl01 --a-rec 10.0.0.51 

  Record name: repl01
  A record: 10.0.0.51
[root@dlp ~]#
ipa-replica-prepare repl01.srv.world --ip-address 10.0.0.51

[3] Setup as a Replica Server on FreeIPA Replica.
The following example set "--no-forwarders" for DNS, but if you set it, specify like "--forwarder=x.x.x.x".
[root@repl01 ~]#
ipa-replica-install --setup-ca --setup-dns --no-forwarders /var/lib/ipa/replica-info-repl01.srv.world.gpg

Run connection check to master
Check connection from replica to remote master 'dlp.srv.world':
   Directory Service: Unsecure port (389): OK
   Directory Service: Secure port (636): OK
   Kerberos KDC: TCP (88): OK
   Kerberos Kpasswd: TCP (464): OK
   HTTP Server: Unsecure port (80): OK
   HTTP Server: Secure port (443): OK
   PKI-CA: Directory Service port (7389): OK

The following list of ports use UDP protocol and would need to be
checked manually:
   Kerberos KDC: UDP (88): SKIPPED
   Kerberos Kpasswd: UDP (464): SKIPPED

Connection from replica to master is OK.
Start listening on required ports for remote master check
Get credentials to log in to remote master
admin@SRV.WORLD password:    
# admin password


Execute check on remote master

Global DNS configuration in LDAP server is empty
You can use 'dnsconfig-mod' command to set global DNS options that
would override settings in local named.conf files

Restarting the web server
[4] Get Kerberos tickets on Replica Host and verify it's possible to get datas on FreeIPA Directory. If possible, it's OK to setup replication settings. For FreeIPA Clients, it's not necessarry to set additinal settings, Clients can continue to authenticate even if a Server is down.
