sFlow poller uplink
Description
This script configures sFlow monitoring on a network switch by identifying the upstream interface. It first determines the switch OS version (AOS6 or AOS8), then retrieves the default gateway IP from the routing table. Using the gateway IP, it finds the corresponding interface via the ARP table. If successful, it sets an sFlow receiver and assigns the upstream interface as the sFlow poller with a 5-second interval.
If any step fails (e.g., missing gateway or interface), it logs an error. The script ensures compatibility with both AOS6 and AOS8 command formats.
This script is typically run on head switches of remote sites that are not connected with fiber to the core.
