sFlow 11

Exporting CPU-directed data (management traffic) to the sFlow collector

You can select which and how often data destined to the CPU (for example, Telnet sessions) is sent to the sFlow collector.

CLI commands allow you to do the following:

•Enable the sFlow agent to export CPU-directed data

•Specify the sampling rate for exported CPU-directed data

Enabling the sFlow agent to export CPU-directed data

To enable the sFlow agent on a Brocade ICX 6650 device to export data destined to the CPU to the sFlow collector, enter the following command.

Brocade(config)# sflow export cpu-traffic

Syntax: [no] sflow export cpu-traffic

By default, this feature is disabled. The sFlow agent does not send data destined to the CPU to the sFlow collector.

Specifying the sampling rate for exported CPU-directed data

The sampling rate is the average ratio of the number of packets incoming on an sFlow-enabled port, to the number of flow samples taken from those packets. You can optionally set the sampling rate for CPU-directed data exported to the sFlow collector. For example, to set this sampling rate to 2048, enter the following command.

Brocade(config)# sflow export cpu-traffic 2048

Syntax: [no] sflow export cpu-traffic <rate>

The default sampling rate depends on the Brocade device being configured. Refer to “Changing the sampling rate” on page 259 for the default sampling rate for each kind of Brocade device.

Displaying sFlow information

To display sFlow configuration information and statistics, enter the following command at any level of the CLI.
