Configuring Flow Exports on HP 5800 and HP A5500 Series Devices

For NetFlow analysis, you need to configure your devices to export flows to Site24x7 On-Premise Poller, which is the NetFlow collector. The On-Premise Poller will be listening to the particular port to receive flows. Learn how to find the port number of your On-Premise Poller.

Configure flows (sFlow) on HP 5800 and HP A5500 series devices using the following commands:

sflow agent ip <device_ip>
sflow source ip <device_ip>
sflow collector 1 ip <NFA_server_IP> port 9996

Execute the following commands for each interface on which you want to enable flow:

interface interface-type
sflow flow collector 1
sflow counter collector 1
sflow sampling-mode random
sflow sampling-rate 1000
sflow counter interval 60
