The following section describes operational considerations for deploying Application Telemetry, including general considerations, followed by a summary of platform-specific considerations.
The following list describes general Application Telemetry operational considerations:
When you enable Application Telemetry, it is globally enabled on all ports. You cannot disable the feature on a per-port basis.
Application Telemetry supports IPv4 and IPv6 packets, although host monitoring is available for IPv4 hosts only.
Application Telemetry filter rules are not user configurable. However, an updated app-telemetry.pol file can be installed through the Extreme Management Center or ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine.
If a user-created filter rule (ACL) conflicts with an Application Telemetry defined filter, the user-created rule always takes precedence.
There are two configurable sFlow collectors (Collector 1 and Collector 2). However, Application Telemetry uses Collector 1 only and you must configure it before enabling Application Telemetry.
This section provides a summary of operational considerations for different switches.
