Configuring A Fixed Primary Address; Displaying A Sflow Receiver - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850-48 Network Configuration Manual

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, then 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 the optional interval parameter after the receiver index value. For exam-
ple, to configure sFlow poller session 3 on port 1/1 with an interval of 5, 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

Displaying a sFlow Receiver

The 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
below:
-> show sflow receiver
Receiver 1
Name = Golden
Address = IP_V4 198.206.181.3
UDP Port = 6343
Timeout = 65535
Packet Size= 1400
DatagramVer= 5
