router
NOTE:
After installing the OAP/OAPS module on the router, perform the
following configurations on the router.
ACFP configuration
Introduction to ACFP
Application Control Forwarding Protocol (ACFP) is a collaboration
framework for the client/server model between devices. ACFP mainly
describes the specifications for implementing collaboration between the
OAP/OAPS module and the routers. The OAP/OAPS module is called
ACFP client while the router is called ACFP server. A router mirrors or
redirects the received packets to an ACFP client after matching the ACFP
collaboration rules. The software running on the ACFP client monitors
and detects the packets. Based on the monitoring and detection results,
the ACFP client sends back responses to the router through collaboration
Management Information Bases (MIBs) to instruct the router to process the
results, such as filtering out the specified packets.
By controlling data flows on the router, ACFP implements collaboration to
provide users with a unified interface for issuing rules.
