sFlow Agent
Configuring sFlow Using the Web Browser Interface
■ Organization—HP. The sFlow receiver must also know the organization to
identify the implementation of sFlow on this agent.
■ Revision—the Wireless Edge Services zl Module’s current software image.
■ Address Type—the protocol version for IP addresses.
■ Address—the Wireless Edge Services zl Module’s management VLAN IP
address. (Note: sFlow uses the "management VLAN" IP address, not just any
management IP address.) You should always configure a static address on the
management interface when implementing sFlow.
If your sFlow receiver cannot configure the Wireless Edge Services zl Module’s
sFlow agent, you must configure sFlow manually. Complete the following tasks to
configure the Wireless Edge Services zl Module to act as an sFlow agent:
1. Configure up to three sFlow receiver instances through the Web browser inter-
face.
From the CLI, you can configure three more sFlow receiver instances.
2. Configure flow sampling instances for RP radios:
a. To control where the agent sends this radio’s samples, match the flow
sampling instances to receiver instances.
b. Specify how frequently radios sample packets.
3. Configure counter polling instances for RP radios:
a. To control where the agent sends this radio’s counters, match the counter
polling instances to receiver instances.
b. Specify how frequently radios are polled for the counters.
Manually Configuring sFlow Receiver Instances Using the
Web Browser Interface
The Wireless Edge Services zl Module can forward sFlow datagrams to up to six
sFlow receivers. For example, it could report to a PCM Plus server, to an Intrusion
Detection System/Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS), and to a server running a
billing application.
Each receiver has its own receiver instance. Many receivers can configure the
instance automatically. If you decide to configure instances manually, you can
configure three receiver instances (1, 2, and 3) only through the CLI. (See Appendix
A: “ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Module Command Line Reference.”) The
other receiver instances (4, 5, and 6), you can configure through the Web browser
interface.
