traffic accounting on HPE 5900 switch

[colossus1611]

Hello,

Another predominantly Cisco world Network Engineer here looking for assistance with HP equivalent setup.

Basically need to get statistics for source and destination traffic for traffic going across a specific interface on our 5900 Data Centre switch. There is no IP accounting command that I can find on HPE switches.

How do I implement something similar to ip accounting command on HPE 5900 switch to get traffic stats generated on the switch itself to identify source and destination traffic across a specific interface?

From what I searched online, came across below, but not sure how can I use it to generate the stats I want:

# Configure a traffic accounting action in traffic behavior database to count traffic in bytes. system-view [Sysname] traffic behavior database [Sysname-behavior-database] accounting byte

Can someone please provide me some more information on this?

Thank you.

Hi

Requesting you to please share more information related to device 5900 switch.

Please share the current Image running on the switch so that I can help you with the QOS commands related to it.

okay let me check about it and will share the results

[colossus1611]

Thanks. 

Just to ensure we are on the right track with this, I am after source and destination IP addresses for traffic that traverses a specific interface on my HP 5900.

How do I implement something similar to ip accounting command on HPE 5900 switch to get traffic stats generated on the switch itself to identify source and destination traffic across a specific interface?

[nikunjbhatia]

Thanks for more info.

Let me check about it and will share the commands

[colossus1611]

Thank you. Hopefully there is such an option available with HP 5900.

Hello,

Thanks, but I have already looked at that document before. I could not work out which command would give me IP address details for the traffic crossing an interface. Is this possible on HPE 5900 series switch at all? 

[nikunjbhatia]

Hi

I will request you to raise case with HPE for more details regarding 5900 series Information.

The information with respect to the release Note is that Only as per document.

But we can check with Engineering Team of HPE for more details.

[colossus1611]

Hello,

Can you please guide me as to how do I go about raising a case with HPE? 

Thanks.

[colossus1611]

I have logged a case now, was quite straight forward. Thanks.
