Aruba VSF High Port Counters
Hi,
i configure a VSF on 2 HP Aruba Switches.
It works fine but the interface counter increases permanently extremely.

link 1 1/A1
member 2
link 1 2/A1
port-speed 40g
Flow Bcast

2/A1 900,798,200 1,619,989,198 0 0 off 0

Is that normal?
1 GByte in 5 seconds??
The other interfaces are blank
I didn't find anything in the HP notes about that.

Re: Aruba VSF High Port Counters
You mentioned VSF on Aruba.
Can you post outputs of these (Sanitized = MAC Addresses and Serial Numbers, if any...removed) CLI Commands:
- show vsf link detail
- show vsf link utilization
- show vsf
- show vsf detail
- show vsf topology
- show vsf topology detail
Thanks.

Re: Aruba VSF High Port Counters
Well, a transmission (and reception) rate of 2% considering a single 40000 Mbps (40 Gbps) link - your VSF Port link - means 800 Mbps (100 MBps)...not so much considering how much fat is the VSF pipe between VSF Nodes...the point is now: what is causing such amount of traffic between your two VSF Nodes? ...maybe it's due to an host only connected to VSF 1 that is continuously talking to another host connected only to VSF 2...
