Specifying the polling interval for exporting CPU and memory usage information to the sFlow
collector
The polling interval defines how often sFlow data for a port is sent to the sFlow collector. With sFlow
version 5, you can optionally set the polling interval used for exporting CPU and memory usage
information.
For example, to set the polling interval for exporting CPU and memory usage information to 30
seconds, enter the following command.
device(config)# sflow export system-info 30
Syntax:
[no] sflow export system-infoseconds
You can specify a polling interval from 5 seconds to 1,800 seconds (30 minutes). The default polling
interval for exporting CPU and memory usage information is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
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 device to export data destined to the CPU to the sFlow
collector, enter the following command.
device(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.
device(config)# sflow export cpu-traffic 2048
Syntax:
[no] sflow export cpu-traffic
The default sampling rate depends on the Brocade device being configured. Refer to
Changing the
sampling rate
on page 251 for the default sampling rate for each kind of Brocade device.
Configuring sFlow with Multi-VRFs
sFlow is a traffic monitoring protocol that supports VRFs. sFlow provides traffic sampling on configured
ports based on sample rate and port information to a collector. By default, sFlow uses the
