AT-8100 Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1215

This last command activates the sFlow agent on the switch.

Depending on the amount of traffic on the ports and the values of the
sampling rates and polling intervals, there may be long periods of time in
which the agent on the switch does not send any information to the
collectors. For instance, if there is little or no traffic on port 23 in the
example, the agent will wait about 30 minutes (1800 seconds) before
sending performance data for that particular port.

awplus(config-if)# sflow sampling-rate 50000

Use the SFLOW SAMPLING-
RATE command to set the
sampling rate of the ports to 1
packet for every 50000 packets.

awplus(config-if)# sflow polling-interval 1800

Use the SFLOW POLLING-
INTERVAL command to set the
polling rate of the statistics
counters of the ports to 1800
seconds.

awplus(config-if)# exit

Return to the Global Configuration
mode.

awplus(config)# show sflow

Use the SHOW SFLOW command
again to confirm the configuration
of the ports.

awplus(config)# sflow enable

Activate the agent with the
SFLOW ENABLE command.
