In the early days ~4 years ago, setting up sFlow on the Procurve was horribly difficult.  It involved setting SNMP OIDs via a CLI, converting decimal IP addresses to HEX, scripting batch files to periodically (i.e. once per day) reset a decrementing timer so that it would continue to send sFlow. Telephone support from HP on this topic was terrible. We ended up being escalated to some guy who spoke horrible English that still couldn’t help us get it to work. We ended up returning the switch we purchased and buying from Alcatel which at the time was awesome. We figured it out sFlow on the procurve for a customer several months later and documented the process. It was a 4 hour process to help a customer set it up over the phone. Nathan blogged about sFlow on the procurve. [...] [...] Setting up sFlow on the HP Procurve Lets take sFlow support for example.

Procurve family is very easy when it comes to setting up sFlow, with the exception of this model. Of course, Murphy's Law says that everyone has this switch. I give the 3500 and 5400 series Procurves 2 thumbs up though. But with CISCO entering the Server market, I heard that H.P. was going to counterattack by pumping more money towards the ProCurve family, which should make for some exciting models in development.

Reading this has removed the 2800 from my list of possibilities. Do you know if any of the other models in the ProCurve line have this same issue/problem?
