sflow on hp procurve switches

[bard_2]

hello,

I'm a student in intership and my subject is to set up a management interface for HP procurve switches through sflow standard.

I have done some commands but I have some difficulties with sflow parameters and MIBs.

I have enable sflow on my switches (2910al) and now i want to see parameters with the CLI.

in CLI i've got that:

ProCurve 2910al-24G Switch# setmib 1.3.6.1.4.1.14706.1.1.5.1.4.11.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.
2.1.1.1.1 -i 65
ProCurve 2910al-24G Switch# sh sflow 1 sampling-polling

Port | Sampling |----------------------| Dropped | Polling
-------| Enabled | Rate -|- Header | Samples | Enabled | Interval
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 ----- Yes(1) ------ 65 -- 128 ------- 0 ------------ Yes(1) ------ 20


can you help me, i don't understand what is polling enabled (so i'm french too)


and this command:

setmib 1.3.6.1.4.1.14706.1.1.5.1.3.11.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.1.1 -i 1

I have found this command in this forum, but i don't understand what it makes enabled.


thank you a lot for your attention and please excuse me if my english is not very well ^^

The sFlow MIB is not intended to be configured using the CLI. You would be better off using an sFlow analyzer that can configure the switch using SNMP:

If you want to experiment with sFlow (and have a Linux system), then you can use the sflowenable and sflowtool command line utilities to configure and display sFlow data:

Hello, thanks to your attention

my problem is not so simple because I use HP procurve manager 2.3 to manage all the switches. I don't find how to configure my switch by SNMP.

with CLI it is possible, but it is really boring. to change the sample rate for the port 1 it is like :
setmib 1.3.6.1.4.1.14706.1.1.5.1.4.11.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.1.1 -i 65

I don't know how to configure the switches using SNMP and Procurve Manager...
