Usage

Use this command to set sFlow packet sampling rate. Use no parameter with this command to set default

sampling rate. Default sampling rate value is 8192.

sFlow uses CPU resources to collect samples and send samples to the collector. If a low sampling rate is set,

CPU utilization can become high. To protect CPU from overwhelming, exceeded flow samples would be

dropped. If a sampling rate less than default value is configured, a prompt will be given to info the potential of

involving a high CPU utilization.

This command can only be configured on a port which is not a link-agg group member. The port can be either

a physical port or a link-agg port.
