This guide outlines the steps to configure sFlow on Huawei devices to export packets to a AIOps Flow Explorer server.

Configuration Steps

Enter the system view:

system-view

configure the sFlow settings:

sflow collector 1 ip {MOTADATA_COLLECTOR_IP} port 2055
sflow agent ip {DEVICE_IP}

For each interface, you need to set the sFlow parameters:

Interface {INTERFACE_NAME}
sflow counter-sampling collector 1
sflow counter-sampling interval 30
sflow flow-sampling collector 1

info

Make sure to replace {INTERFACE_NAME}, {MOTADATA_COLLECTOR_IP}, and {DEVICE_IP} with the appropriate values specific to your network setup.

After completing the configuration, navigate to Menu > Flow Explorer and select the Event Source(s) and the associated Interface(s) from the drop-downs to view the active flow data.
