3Com S7906E Configuration Manual page 2612

Supported working modes: host, pass-through, mirroring, and redirect. An ACFP server can
support multiple working modes among these four at the same time. The ACFP server and client(s)
can collaborate with each other only when the ACFP server supports the working mode of the
ACFP client.
Maximum expiration time of the supported collaboration policy: This indicates for how long the
collaboration policy of the ACFP server will remain valid.
Whether the ACFP server can permanently save the collaboration policy: It mainly refers to
whether the ACFP server can keep the original collaboration policy after reboot.
Currently supported context ID type: The location of the context ID in the packet may vary with
ACFP servers. There are five types of context IDs: no-context (no context ID is carried),
HG-context (carrying the preamble HG as the context ID), HGPlus-context (carrying the preamble
HGPlus as the context ID), FlowID-context (carrying the preamble Flow ID as the context ID),
VLANID-context (carrying VLAN ID as the context ID).
The S7900E series Ethernet switches support the mirroring and redirect modes only.
The S7900E series Ethernet switches support carrying the preamble HGPlus as the context ID (the
HGPlus-context) only.
The above-mentioned information indicates the collaboration capabilities of an ACFP server. ACFP
clients can access this information through a collaboration protocol or collaboration MIB.
ACFP client information
ACFP client information contains the following:
ACFP client identifier. It can be assigned by the ACFP server through a collaboration protocol or
specified by the network administrator to ensure that each ACFP client has a unique client ID on
the ACFP server.
Description: ACFP client description information.
Hw-Info: ACFP client hardware type, version number, and so on.
OS-Info: System name and version number of the ACFP client.
App-Info: Application software type and version number of the ACFP client.
Client IP: ACFP client IP address.
Client Mode: Working mode currently supported by the ACFP client, namely, the combination of
the host, pass-through, mirroring, and redirect modes.
ACFP collaboration policy
ACFP collaboration policy refers to the collaboration policy that the ACFP client sends to the ACFP
server for application. The policy information is as follows:
Client ID: ACFP client identifier.
Policy-Index
In-interface: Interface through which the packet is sent to the ACFP server.
Out-interface: Interface through which the packet is forwarded normally.
Dest-interface: ACFP server interface connected with ACFP client.
