An ACSEI server can register multiple ACSEI clients.

ACSEI timers

An ACSEI server uses two timers, the clock synchronization timer and the monitoring timer:

•The clock synchronization timer is used to periodically trigger the ACSEI server to send clock synchronization advertisements to ACSEI clients. You can set this timer through command lines.

•The monitoring timer is used to periodically trigger 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 is used to periodically trigger the ACSEI client to multicast registration requests (with the multicast MAC address being 010F-E200-0021). You cannot set this timer.

•The monitoring timer is used to periodically trigger 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:

The firewall module runs the ACSEI client application to enable ACSEI client. Start up the network device and enable the ACSEI server function on it.

The ACSEI client multicasts a registration request.

After the ACSEI server receives a valid registration request, it negotiates parameters with the ACSEI client and establishes a connection with the client if the negotiation succeeds.

The ACSEI server and the ACSEI client mutually monitor the connection.

Upon detecting the disconnection of the ACSEI client, the ACFP server removes the configuration and policies associated with the client.
