Configuring a utilization list for an uplink port

Clearing sFlow statistics

To clear the UDP packet and sFlow sample counters in the show sflow display, enter the following
command.

TurboIron#clear statistics

Syntax: clear statistics

This command clears the values in the following fields of the show sflow display:

UDP packets exported

sFlow samples collected

NOTE

This command also clears the statistics counters used by other features.

Configuring a utilization list for an uplink port

You can configure uplink utilization lists that display the percentage of a given uplink port
bandwidth that is used by a specific list of downlink ports. The percentages are based on
30-second intervals of RMON packet statistics for the ports. Both transmit and receive traffic is
counted in each percentage.

NOTE

This feature is intended for ISP or collocation environments in which downlink ports are dedicated
to various customers’ traffic and are isolated from one another. If traffic regularly passes between
the downlink ports, the information displayed by the utilization lists does not provide a clear
depiction of traffic exchanged by the downlink ports and the uplink port.

Each uplink utilization list consists of the following:

Utilization list number (1, 2, 3, or 4)

One or more uplink ports

One or more downlink ports

Actual default sampling rate

The actual default sampling rate.

UDP packets exported

The number of sFlow export packets the device has sent.
NOTE: Each UDP packet can contain multiple samples.

sFlow samples collected

The number of sampled packets that have been sent to the collectors.

sFlow ports

The ports on which you enabled sFlow.

Module Sampling Rates

The configured and actual sampling rates for each module. If a module
does not have any sFlow-enabled ports, the rates are listed as 0.

Port Sampling Rates

The configured and actual sampling rates for each sFlow-enabled port.
The Subsampling factor indicates how many times the sampling rate of
the port's module is multiplied to achieve the port's sampling rate.
Because of the way the actual sampling rates are computed, the
Subsampling factors are always whole numbers.
