Configuring The Sflow Agent And Sflow Collector Information; Configuring Flow Sampling - HP 5920 Configuration Manual

Configuring the sFlow agent and sFlow collector
information
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. (Optional.)
Configure an IP
address for the
sFlow agent.
3. Configure the
sFlow collector
information.
4. (Optional.) Specify
the source IP
address of sFlow
packets.

Configuring flow sampling

Perform this task to configure flow sampling on an Ethernet interface. The sFlow agent does the following:
Samples packets on that interface according to the configured parameters.
•
Encapsulates them into sFlow packets.
•
Sends them in UDP packets to the specified sFlow collector.
•
To configure flow sampling:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet
interface view or Layer 3
Ethernet interface view.

Remarks
N/A
By default, no IP address is configured for the
sFlow agent. The device periodically checks
whether the sFlow agent has an IP address. If not,
the device automatically selects an IPv4 address
for the sFlow agent but does not save the IPv4
address in the configuration file.
NOTE:
•
HP recommends that you manually configure
an IP address for the sFlow agent.
•
Only one IP address can be configured for the
sFlow agent on the device, and a newly
configured IP address overwrites the existing
one.
By default, no sFlow collector information is
configured.
By default, the source IP address is determined by
routing.
