Configuring Flow Exports on Brocade Switches

For NetFlow analysis, you need to configure your devices to export flows to Site24x7 On-Premise Poller, which is the NetFlow collector. The On-Premise Poller will be listening to the particular port to receive flows. Learn how to find the port number of your On-Premise Poller.

Configure flows on Brocade switches using the following commands:

sflow destination {NETFLOW_SERVER_IP} {NETFLOW_SERVER_LISTENER_PORT}
sflow sample 1 out of 1000
sflow polling-interval 60
sflow agent-ip {LOOPBACK_IP}
sflow enable

Enter global configuration mode on the router or Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC), and issue the following commands for each interface on which you want to enable flow:

interface {INTERFACE_NAME}
sflow forwarding
exit
