ACSEI Server Configuration

1.1 Introduction to ACSEI

As a private protocol, ACSEI provides a method for exchanging information between

ACFP clients and ACFP server. It well supports Application Control Forwarding

Protocol (ACFP) collaboration, ensuring valid information interaction between the

ACFP clients and the ACFP server, so that the ACFP server and clients can cooperate

to run a service.

As a supporting protocol of ACFP, ACSEI has two entities: server and client.

ACSEI server is integrated into the software system (Comware) of the device and

is supported by the device.

ACSEI client is implemented in two ways. One way is to integrate it into the system

software (Comware) of the device. In this way it is a function supported by the

device. The other way is to integrate it into the software system of the OAP module.

In this way it is a function supported by the OAP module. Hardware and

configurations needed in the two implementations are different. This chapter will

introduce them respectively.

Note:

ACFP is designed based on the Open Application Architecture (OAA). The

collaborating IDS (Intrusion Detection System) cards or IDS devices serve as the

ACFP clients which run applications of other vendors and support the IPS (Intrusion

Prevention System)/IDS services.

The open application platform (OAP) is designed for new services. On OAP module

runs the Linux operating system. You can load various service software, such as

security, voice, and so on as needed.

ACSEI mainly provides the following functions:

Registration and deregistration of an ACSEI client to the ACSEI server.
