Sflow Sampling-Rate - HPE FlexNetwork 10500 Series Network Management And Monitoring Command Reference

Parameters
determine: Specifies the fixed sampling mode. For example, if the flow sampling interval is set to
4000 (by using the sflow sampling-rate command), the device samples packets as follows:
•
The device randomly samples a packet, like the tenth packet, from the first 4000 packets.
•
The next time the device samples the 4010th packet, and so on.
This keyword is not supported in the current software version.
random: Specifies the random sampling mode. For example, if the packet sampling interval is set to
4000 (by using the sflow sampling-rate command), the device samples packets randomly as
follows:
•
The device might sample one packet from the first 4000 packets.
•
The device might sample multiple packets from the next 4000 packets.
•
The device might sample no packets from the third 4000 packets.
However, the device samples one packet from 4000 packets on average.

Parameters
rate: Specifies the number of packets out of which flow sampling will sample a packet on the
interface. The value range for this argument is 1000 to 500000. As a best practice, set the sampling
n
interval to 2 that is greater than or equal to 8192, for example, 32768.
