Configuring Sflow; Viewing Sflow Configuration And Status - HP ProCurve 6120G/XG Configuration Manual

Configuring sFlow

The following sFlow commands allow you to configure sFlow instances via
the CLI.
Syntax: [no] sflow <receiver-instance> destination <ip-address> [udp-port-num]
Syntax: sflow <receiver-instance> sampling <port-list> <sampling rate>
Syntax: sflow <receiver-instance> polling <port-list> <polling interval>
N o t e
Under the multiple instance implementation, sFlow can be configured via the
CLI or via SNMP. However, CLI-owned sFlow configurations cannot be modi­
fied via SNMP, whereas SNMP-owned instances can be disabled via the CLI
using the no sflow <receiver-instance> command.

Viewing sFlow Configuration and Status

The following sFlow commands allow you to display sFlow configuration and
status via the CLI.
Syntax: show sflow agent
Syntax: show sflow <receiver instance> destination
Configuring for Network Management Applications
Enables an sFlow receiver/destination. The receiver-instance
number must be a 1, 2, or 3. By default, the udp destination port
number is 6343.
To disable an sFlow receiver/destination, enter no sflow
<receiver-instance>.
Once an sFlow receiver/destination has been enabled, this
command enables flow sampling for that instance. The receiver-
instance number is 1, 2, or 3, and the sampling rate is the
allowable non-zero skipcount for the specified port or ports.
To disable flow-sampling for the specified port-list, repeat the
above command with a sampling rate of "0".
Once an sFlow receiver/destination has been enabled, this
command enables counter polling for that instance. The receiver-
instance number is 1, 2, or 3, and the polling interval may be set
to an allowable non-zero value to enable polling on the specified
port or ports.
To disable counter-polling for the specified port-list, repeat the
above command with a polling interval of "0".
Displays sFlow agent information. The agent address is normally
the ip address of the first vlan configured.
Displays information about the management station to which the
sFlow sampling-polling data is sent.
