iMC NTA not working with Brocade MLXe

    Hi,

    We've recently been adding relevant devices to monitor via NTA when we need to, but I'm noticing an issue with our Brocade MLXe.

    I've managed to get the NTA to work for our Procurve and FlexNetwork/ FlexFabric switches.

    The issue I'm encountering is that while I'm seeing inbound traffic, I'm not seeing outbound. The main difference with this switch is that this is connected to our border router, whereas the HP/ HPE switches are intersite connections.

    Below is an example of our config (with obvious omissions shown in <angle> brackets):

     

    COMWARE

    system-view

    sflow agent ip <mgmt vlan ip>

    sflow source ip <mgmt vlan ip>

    sflow collector 1 ip <nta ip address> port 9020 description iMC-NTA

    interface <interface>

    sflow flow collector 1

    sflow sampling-rate 1000

    sflow counter collector 1

    sflow counter interval 20

     

    PROCURVE

    configure terminal

    sflow 1 destination <nta ip> 9020

    sflow 1 sampling <interface> 1000

    (to cancel) sflow 1 sampling <interface> 0

    sflow 1 polling <interface> 20

    (to cancel) sflow 1 polling <interface> 0

     

    BROCADE

    enable

    configure terminal

    sflow enable

    sflow destination <nta ip> 9020

    sflow polling-interval 20

    sflow sample 1024

    interface <interface>

    sflow forwarding

     

    The rest of the configuration was made according to https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c05240898
