P ARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ Port – Choose the port to configure. (Range: 1-26; Default: 1)
◆ Status – Enables sFlow on the selected port.
◆ Receiver Owner 1 – The name of the receiver. (Range: 1-256
characters; Default: None)
◆ Receiver IP Address 1 – IP address of the sFlow Collector.
◆ Receiver Port 1 – The UDP port on which the sFlow Collector is
listening for sFlow streams. (Range: 0-65534; Default: 6343)
◆ Timeout – The time that the sFlow process will continuously send
samples to the Collector before resetting all sFlow port parameters.
(Range: 0-10000000 seconds, where 0 indicates no time out)
The sFlow parameters affected by this command include the sampling
interval, the receiver’s name, address and UDP port, the time out,
maximum header size, and maximum datagram size.
◆ Max Header Size – Maximum size of the sFlow datagram header.
(Range: 64-256 bytes; Default: 128 bytes)
◆ Max Datagram Size – Maximum size of the sFlow datagram payload.
(Range: 200-1500 bytes; Default: 1400 bytes)
◆ Sample Rate – The number of packets out of which one sample will be
taken. (Range: 256-16777215 packets, or 0 to disable sampling;
Default: Disabled)
◆ Polling Interval – The interval at which counters are added to the
sample datagram. (Range: 1-10,000,000 seconds; Default: Disabled)
W EB I NTERFACE
To configure flow sampling:
1. Click Interface, sFlow.
2. Set the parameters for flow collector, the reset timeout, the payload,
and the sampling rate and the polling interval.
1. Sampling must be disabled by setting the time out to 0 before these fields can be
configured.
