Configuring the HABP server
An HABP server is usually configured on the authentication device enabled with 802.1X authentication or MAC address authentication. The HABP server sends HABP requests to the attached switches (HABP clients) at a specified interval, collecting their MAC addresses from the responses. HABP packets are transmitted in the VLAN specified on the HABP server.
To configure an HABP server:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enable HABP. | habp enable | Optional Enabled by default |
3. Configure HABP to work in server mode and specify the VLAN for HABP packets. | habp server vlan vlan-id | HABP works in client mode by default. The VLAN specified on the HABP server for transmitting HABP packets must be the same as that to which the HABP clients belong. |
4. Set the interval to send HABP requests. | habp timer interval | Optional 20 seconds by default |
