Aruba 2530 - CLI-Configured Sflow with Multiple Instances; Configuring Sflow (CLI)

• Ethernet Statistics (except the numbers of packets of different frame sizes)
• Alarm
• History (of the supported Ethernet statistics)
• Event
The RMON agent automatically runs in the switch. Use the RMON management station on your network to
enable or disable specific RMON traps and events. Note that you can access the Ethernet statistics, Alarm and
Event groups from the HPE Switch Manager network management software.
CLI-configured sFlow with multiple instances
sFlow can also be configured via the CLI for up to three distinct sFlow instances: once enabled, an sFlow
receiver/destination can be independently configured for full flow-sampling and counter-polling. CLI-configured
sFlow instances may be saved to the startup configuration to persist across a switch reboot.
Configuring sFlow (CLI)
The following sFlow commands allow you to configure sFlow instances via the CLI. For more information, see
Advanced management: RMON on page 166.
Syntax:
[no] sflow <receiver-instance> destination <ip-address> [< udp-port-num >]
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 .
Syntax:
sflow <receiver-instance> sampling <port-list> <sampling rate>
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.
Syntax:
sflow <receiver-instance> polling <port-list> <polling interval>
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.
NOTE:
Under the multiple instance implementation, sFlow can be configured via the CLI or via SNMP.
However, CLI-owned sFlow configurations cannot be modified via SNMP, whereas SNMP-owned
instances can be disabled via the CLI using the no sflow <receiver-instance> command.
