Receiver Configuration
◆
Owner – sFlow can be configured in two ways: Through local
management using the Web interface or through SNMP. This read-only
field shows the owner of the current sFlow configuration and assumes
values as follows:
■
If sFlow is currently unconfigured/unclaimed, Owner shows
<none>.
■
If sFlow is currently configured through the Web, Owner shows
<Configured through local management>.
■
If sFlow is currently configured through SNMP, Owner contains a
string identifying the sFlow receiver.
If sFlow is configured through SNMP, all controls, except for the
Release-button, are disabled to avoid inadvertent reconfiguration.
The Release button can be used to release the current owner and
disable sFlow sampling. This button is disabled if sFlow is currently
unconfigure. If configured through SNMP, the release must be
confirmed (a confirmation request will appear).
◆
IP Address/Hostname – The IP address or host name of the sFlow
receiver. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
◆
UDP Port – The UDP port on which the sFlow receiver is listening for
sFlow datagrams. If set to 0 (zero), the default port (6343) is used.
(Range: 0-65534; Default: 6343)
◆
Timeout – The number of seconds remaining before sampling stops,
the current sFlow owner is released, and all sFlow parameters are
reset. (Range: 0-9999999 seconds, where 0 indicates no time out)
The sFlow parameters affected by this command include the IP address
and UDP port, timeout, maximum datagram size, sampling rate, and
maximum header size.
While active, the current time left can be updated by clicking the
Refresh button. If locally managed, the timeout can be changed on the
fly without affecting any other settings.
◆
Max. Datagram Size – Maximum size of the sFlow datagram payload.
This should be set to a value that avoids fragmentation of the sFlow
datagrams. (Range: 200-1468 bytes; Default: 1400 bytes)
