sFlow configuration with NETCONF overview
This chapter provides procedures for configuring sFlow using the NETCONF interface. Refer to the
Network OS Administrator’s Guide for related conceptual and overview information about the sFlow
protocol.
Through the NETCONF interface, you can perform the following operations that affect the
functioning of sFlow:
• Use the RPC to activate, configure, or deactivate the sFlow protocol globally.
• Use the RPC to activate, configure, or deactivate sFlow on specific 10-Gigabit,
40-Gigabit, or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
• Use the RPC to verify all or part of the global or per-port sFlow configuration.
sFlow must be enabled globally before it can be enabled on a specific interface.
sFlow parameters are defined in the brocade-sflow YANG module. For information about the
brocade-sflow YANG module, refer to the Network OS YANG Reference Manual.
Configuring the sFlow protocol globally
Brocade recommends that you configure sFlow globally on the Brocade switch first, and then
enable sFlow on specific interface ports and make custom alterations, because sFlow parameters
at the interface level can differ from those at the global level. For details, refer to
“Interface-specific
administrative tasks for sFlow” on page 487.
Enabling sFlow globally does not enable it on interface ports. sFlow must be explicitly enabled on
all the required interface ports. Refer to
“Enabling and customizing sFlow on specific interfaces” on
page 487.
NOTE
On the Brocade VDX 8770, Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN), and sFlow can be enabled at the same
time. However, on the Brocade VDX 6720, SPAN and sFlow cannot be enabled at the same time.
