ACSEI timers
An ACSEI server uses two timers, the clock synchronization timer and the monitoring timer.
•
The clock synchronization timer periodically triggers the ACSEI server to send clock synchronization
advertisements to ACSEI clients. You can set this timer through command lines.
•
The monitoring timer periodically triggers the ACSEI server to send monitoring requests to ACSEI
clients. You can set this timer through command lines.
An ACSEI client starts two timers, the registration timer and the monitoring timer.
•
The registration timer periodically triggers the ACSEI client to multicast registration requests with the
multicast MAC address being
010F-E200-0021
. You cannot set this timer.
•
The monitoring timer periodically triggers the ACSEI client to send monitoring requests to the ACSEI
server. You cannot set this timer.
ACSEI startup and running
ACSEI starts up and runs in the following procedures:
1.
Run the ACSEI client application to enable ACSEI client.
2.
Start up the device and enable the ACSEI server function on it.
3.
The ACSEI client multicasts registration requests.
4.
After the ACSEI server receives a valid registration request, it negotiates parameters with the
ACSEI client and establishes connection with the client if the negotiation succeeds.
5.
The ACSEI server and the ACSEI client mutually monitor the connection.
6.
If detecting the disconnection of the ACSEI client, the ACFP server will remove the configuration
and policies associated with the client.
