Sflow Sampling-Mode - HPE FlexNetwork 7500 Series Network Management And Monitoring Command Reference

Syntax
sflow flow max-header length
undo sflow flow max-header
Default
Flow sampling can copy up to 128 bytes of a packet.

Layer 2 Ethernet interface view, Layer 3 Ethernet interface view
Predefined user roles

Parameters
length: Specifies the maximum number of bytes that can be copied, in the range of 18 to 512. As a
best practice, use the default.
Examples
# Set the maximum number of bytes that can be copied to 60 on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] sflow flow max-header 60

sflow sampling-mode

Use sflow sampling-mode to specify a flow sampling mode.
Use undo sflow sampling-mode to restore the default.
Syntax
sflow sampling-mode { determine | random }
undo sflow sampling-mode
Default
Random sampling is used.

Parameters
determine: Specifies the fixed sampling mode. This keyword is not supported in the current software
version. This keyword is reserved for future support. For example, if the flow sampling interval is set
to 4000 (by using the sflow sampling-rate command), the switch samples packets as follows:
•
The device randomly samples a packet, like the tenth packet, from the first 4000 packets.
•
The next time the switch samples the 4010th packet, and so on.
random: Specifies the random sampling mode. For example, if the packet sampling interval is set to
4000, the switch samples packets randomly as follows:
•
The switch might sample one packet from the first 4000 packets.
