CAUTION:
• In a cluster, if a member switch with 802.1X authentication or MAC authentication enabled is attached
with some other member switches of the cluster, you also need to confi
ure HABP server on this device.
Otherwise, the cluster management device will not be able to manage the devices attached to this
member switch.

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.
Follow these steps to configure an HABP server:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enable HABP habp enable
Optional
Enabled by default
Configure HABP to work in server
mode and specify the VLAN for
HABP packets
habp server vlan vlan-id
Required
HABP works in client mode by
default.
Set the interval to send HABP
requests
habp timer interval
Optional
20 seconds by default
NOTE:
The VLAN specified on the HABP server for transmittin
HABP packets must be the same as that to which
the HABP clients belong.
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.
Follow these steps to configure an HABP client:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
