Changes
Configured sFlow ('
';
12908).
The configured unit or stack was then reset/rebooted for any reason.
Symptoms
Configured sFlow receivers (except for IP address) have been cleared, so are no longer present in the configuration.
A few error messages may be seen on the console; for example:
code:Incorrect input! Invalid Receiver index value.
-and/or-
code:Incorrect input! First assign Receiver index.
-and/or-
code:Incorrect input! Receiver is not associated with this poller instance.
Cause
This is directly related to the NetSight Inventory Manager fix outlined in
13974.
As a result of that fix, most of the sFlow configurations are now only present in Dynamic RAM (DRAM) rather than also being saved to non-volatile Flash memory, so most sFlow commands are not restored after a system reset.
As of the above-stated firmware version, this sFlow configuration loss behavior upon reset now matches what has always occurred upon sFlow timer expiration (
13973).
Solution/Workaround
Functions as Designed (FAD).
Workaround: As desired, re-enter the missing sFlow commands.
