The sFlow MIB should never be used manually. <br /><br />The sFlow MIB is a programmatic API that enables "plug and play" discovery and configuration of sFlow monitoring. The MIB makes sFlow monitoring very simple for the end user. Instead of having to configure each switch through the CLI, the traffic analysis application automatically discovers and configures sFlow devices.<br /><br />If Plixer is interested in adding support for the sFlow MIB to its products, developer information and tools are available at sFlow.org<br /><br />PeterPeterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00856599914190257147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978652979840829013.post-22566737244461993272009-06-23T16:19:20.736-07:002009-06-23T16:19:20.736-07:00Hello Peter,
Great topic. Any chance you could ...Hello Peter, <br /><br />Great topic. Any chance you could layout all of the OIDs necesssary to configure sFlow via SNMP? As well as the steps? <br />For Example:<br /> * Display the current settings:<br /> 1.3.6.1.4.1.14706 several options are displayed.<br /> * The HP used to require the IP be configured in HEX!<br /> setmib sFlowRcvrAddress.1 –o OA020165 <br /> * Configure the receiver port:<br /> setmib sFlowRcvrPort.1 –i 6343<br /> * Do you still have to set a receiver and a timeout. Most people really don't like this shutting off automatically. <br /> setmib sFlowRcvrOwner.1 -D scrut sFlowRcvrTimeout.1 -i 100000000 <br /><br />When using SNMP and an OID set tool, you have to configure the sample rate on each individual interface, then enable it on each individual interface. I think counters have to be enabled on each individual interface as well. Please correct me. <br /><br />Yes, I've spent many an hour on this topic! :) <br /><br />Can you make a document available that explains how to configure all this correctly? <br /><br />Thank you for a great topic.<br /><br />Michael Patterson<br />www.plixer.commikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17809477740687629419noreply@blogger.com
