Parameters

online: Displays endpoint association information.

offline: Displays endpoint disassociation information.

device device-id: Specifies a device by its bridge MAC address in the H-H-H format. In a SmartMC network, you can specify the bridge MAC address of a member to display only information about endpoints connecting to the member.

mac mac-address: Specifies an endpoint by its MAC address in the H-H-H format.

vlan vlan-id: Specifies a VLAN by its ID in the range of 1 to 4094. If you do not specify this option, the command displays information in all VLANs.

verbose: Displays detailed information about identified endpoints. If you do not specify this keyword, the command displays brief information.

Usage guidelines

In a SmartMC network, you can execute this command on the commander or on a member.

·     If you execute this command on the commander, you can view information on all devices in the network or information on a specific device.

·     If you execute this command on a member, you can view only association events of endpoints connecting to the member.

In a non-SmartMC network, this command displays information only on the device on which the command is executed. For more information about SmartMC, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

If an endpoint has multiple IP addresses, only one IP address is displayed.

epa monitor-rule

epa monitor-rule

Use epa monitor-rule to create a static endpoint identification rule.

Use undo epa monitor-rule to remove a static endpoint identification rule.

Syntax

epa monitor-rule [ monitor-rule-id ] mac mac-address [ mask mac-mask ] [ vlan vlan-id ]

undo epa monitor-rule { monitor-rule-id | mac mac-address [ mask mac-mask ] [ vlan vlan-id ] }

Default

No static endpoint identification rules exist.

Parameters

monitor-rule-id: Specifies the rule ID in the range of 1 to 1024. If you do not specify this argument, the command assigns the smallest available ID to the rule.

mac mac-address: Specifies the MAC address of the endpoint to monitor, in the H-H-H format.

mask mac-mask: Specifies a MAC address mask, in the H-H-H format.

vlan vlan-id: Specifies the VLAN in which the endpoint will be monitored. The vlan-id argument represents the VLAN ID in the range of 1 to 4094. If you do not specify this option, the command creates a rule that monitors the endpoint in all VLANs.

Usage guidelines

In a SmartMC network, you can execute this command only on the commander. The commander will deploy the rule to all members to monitor associations and disassociations of the specified endpoint in the entire network.

In a non-SmartMC network, this command enables the device to monitor associations and disassociations of the specified endpoint only on the device itself.

Examples

# Create a static endpoint identification rule to monitor endpoints whose MAC address starts with 0e74 in all VLANs.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] epa monitor-rule mac 0e74-e2fb-0400 mask ffff-0000-0000

Usage guidelines

By default, the EPA module logs endpoint associations and disassociations. If a monitored endpoint comes online or goes offline frequently, the device will generate a large number of log entries. In this case, to avoid affecting device performance, disable EPA logging as a best practice.

Examples

# Disable EPA logging.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] epa online-offline-log disable
