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
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable HABP.
3. Configure HABP to work in
server mode and specify the
VLAN for HABP packets.
4. Set the interval to send HABP
requests.

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
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable HABP.
3. Configure HABP to work in
client mode.
