Context ID: It is used when the packet is mirrored or redirected to an ACFP client. After the
interface connected to the ACFP client is specified in the policy sent, the ACFP server assigns it a
global serial number, that is, the Context ID, with each Context ID corresponding to an ACFP
collaboration policy.
Admin-Status: It indicates whether to enable the policy.
Effect-Status: It indicates the expiration time of the policy and is used to control the expiration time
of all the rules under the policy.
Start-Time: It indicates starting from what time (second/minute/hour) the policy takes effect and is
used to control starting from what time all the rules under the policy take effect.
End-time: It indicates starting from what time (second/minute/hour) the policy turns invalid and is
used to control starting from what time all the rules under the policy turn invalid.
DestIfFailAction: If the policy dest-interface is down, the actions to all rules under the policy will be
as follows: for forwarding first devices, select the delete action to keep the redirected and mirrored
packets being forwarded; for security first devices, select the reserve action to discard the
redirected and mirrored packets.
Priority: It indicates the priority of a policy, number notation, in the range of 1 to 8. The bigger the
number, the higher the priority.
ACFP collaboration rules
ACFP collaboration rules refer to the collaboration rules that the ACFP client sends to the ACFP server
for application. There are three types of collaboration rules:
Monitoring rules: that is, to monitor, analyze, and process the packets to be sent to the ACFP client.
The action types corresponding to monitoring rules are redirect and mirror.
Filtering rules: that is, to determine which packets to deny and which packets to permit. The action
types corresponding to filtering rules are deny and permit.
Restricting rules: that is, to determine the rate of which packets is to be restricted. The action type
corresponding to restricting rules is rate.
Rule information is described as follows:
ClientID: ACFP client identifier.
Policy index
Rule index: rule identifier
Status: It indicates whether the rule is applied successfully.
Action: It can be mirror, redirect, deny, permit, or rate.
Match all packets: It indicates whether to match all the packets. If yes, the following matching
needs not be performed.
Source MAC address
Destination MAC address
Starting VLAN ID
Ending VLAN ID
Protocol number in IP
Source IP address
Wildcard mask of source IP address
Source port operator: Its type can be equal to, not equal to, greater than, less than, greater
than and less than. The following ending source port number takes effect only when the type is
greater than and less than. The source port number of the packets matched by the identifier must
be greater than the starting source port number and less than the ending source port number.
Starting source port number
