Configuring HABP
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
Configuring an HABP client
An HABP client is usually configured on each device that is attached to the authentication device. After
receiving an HABP request from the HABP server, an HABP client responds to the request, delivering its
MAC address to the server, and forwards the HABP request to its attached switches. HABP packets are
transmitted in the VLAN to which the HABP client belongs.
To configure an HABP client:
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
