Not specified by default. The device
periodically checks the existence of the sFlow
agent address. If the sFlow agent has no IP
address configured, the device automatically
selects an interface IP address for the sFlow
agent but does not save the selected IP address.
NOTE:
•
HP recommends configuring an IP address
manually for the sFlow agent.
•
Only one IP address can be specified for the
sFlow agent on the device.
By default, the device presets a number of sFlow
collectors.
Use the display sflow command to display the
parameters of the preset sFlow collectors.
Only the HP 5500 EI supports the vpn-instance
keyword.
