sFlow not sampling on x670-48x

Randy_Middleton — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 22:47:00 GMT

Any way to show the sflow config without showing all config?
Not getting samples. What am I missing here?

From GTAC KB, but did not change anything...

Randy,

The "show configuration etmon" command can be used to view the sflow configuration. Can the sflow collector (10.90.2.19) ping the switch at 10.25.1.5?

Thank you. Yes, it can ping.

Collector to switch and switch to collector, zero loss.

Randy,

Was sflow previously working or is this a new setup? Please post the output of "show configuration etmon."

It was working. Had not checked in awhile. In fact, I haven't opened FlowTraq for a few weeks due to other matters and just hadn't had the time / need. So, not sure how long it has been down.

BTW, that's definately part of the problem. And not sure why that dropped, but thank you, I did miss that.

Still not showing up in the collector, but now it is sampling, so there may be an issue with ProQueSys and this should solve the Extreme side.

Randy,

One thing that can be done to isolate the issue a bit further would be to run a packet capture using Wireshark on the sflow collector. Doing so can confirm whether or not the sampled traffic is making it to the collector.

Wireshark shows flows making it to server (not sure how to put a screenshot here).
Pretty sure you solved my Extreme issue and now this is a FlowTraq issue.
Thank you!!!

In my case with x440 unconfigure sflow collector then configure sflow collector didn't resolve the issue.
My resolution:

code:

disable sflow ports all
enable sflow ports all

Now sFlow sampling works fine!
