Configuring and enabling sFlow
23
Configuring the sFlow management VRF
The sflow management-vrf-disable command is used to disable the management VRF for sFlow
and using the default VRF instance. By default, the management VRF is enabled on sFlow.
Brocade(config)#sflow management-vrf-disable
Syntax: [no] sflow [management-vrf-disable]
The no sflow management-vrf-disable command disables the use of management VRF on sFlow
and enables the default VRF instance.
NOTE
The output of the show running-config command does not show “management-vrf-disable” because
it is the default behavior. If the no sflow management-vrf-disable command has been used,
“management-vrf-disable” will appear in the output to the show running-config command.
sFlow forwarding
sFlow exports data only for the interfaces on which you enable sFlow forwarding. You can enable
sFlow forwarding on Ethernet or POS interfaces.
NOTE
sFlow forwarding enables sampling of data packets received on sFlow-enabled ports and does not
sample data packets that leave sFlow-enabled ports.
To enable sFlow forwarding:
• Globally enable the sFlow feature.
• Enable sFlow forwarding on individual interfaces.
NOTE
Before you enable sFlow, make sure the device has an IP address that sFlow can use as its source
address. Refer to
“Source address” for the source address requirements.
Enabling sFlow forwarding
To enable sFlow forwarding, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)# sflow enable
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1 to 1/8
Brocade(config-mif-1/1-1/8)# sflow forwarding
These commands globally enable sFlow, then enable sFlow forwarding on Ethernet ports 1/1
through 1/8. You must use both the sflow enable and sflow forwarding commands to enable the
feature.
Syntax: [no] sflow enable
Syntax: [no] sflow forwarding
