Configuring Hitachi switches

The following commands configure a Hitachi switch, sampling at 1-in-1024, polling counters every 30 seconds and sending sFlow to an analyzers (10.0.0.50) over UDP using the default sFlow port (6343):

(config)# sflow yes
[sflow]
(config)# destination 10.0.0.50 udp 6343
[sflow]
(config)# extended-information-type switch
[sflow]
(config)# polling-interval 30
[sflow]
(config)# port 1/1-24
[sflow port 1/1-24]
(config)# sample 1024
[sflow port 1/1-24]
(config)# exit
[sflow]
(config)# exit

A previous posting discussed the selection of sampling rates. Additional information can be found on the Hitachi web site.

See Trying out sFlow for suggestions on getting started with sFlow monitoring and reporting.
