Diagnosing Switch Problems

To configure a sFlow poller session, use the

the instance ID number, the slot number of the port to be monitored, a slash (/), and the port number of the

port and receiver, the receiver_index.

For example, to configure poller session 3 on port 1/1, enter:

-> sflow poller 3 1/1 receiver 6

In addition, you can also specify optional parameters shown in the table below. These parameters can be

entered after the receiver index.

For example, to configure sFlow poller session 3 on port 1/1 and specifies the interval, enter:

-> sflow poller 3 1/1 receiver 6 interval 5

Configuring a Fixed Primary Address

It is necessary to execute the

address of the switch, in order to avoid interface changes, which might need the collector software to be

restarted for it to communicate using the new agent IP address. Normally, the primary IP address could

change depending on the IP interface going up/down. Therefore, the sFlow agent always needs to send a

fixed IP address in the datagram.

For example, to configure the loopback0 address as a primary IP address, enter:

-> ip interface loopback0 address 198.206.181.100

Note. The loopback address should be an IP interface configured on the switch.

show sflow receiver

For example, to view the sFlow receiver table, enter the show sflow receiver command without specify-

ing any additional parameters. A screen similar to the following example will be displayed, as shown

-> show sflow receiver

= IP_V4 198.206.181.3

Packet Size= 1400

DatagramVer= 5

Note. For more information about the displays that result from these commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI
