sFlow Configuration
Sampled Flow (sFlow) is a traffic monitoring technology mainly used to collect and
analyze traffic statistics. The switch supports sFlow feature. The sFlow software
agent collects traffic statistics and packet information from the sFlow-enabled
interfaces on the switch, encapsulates them into sFlow packets. The sFlow agent
then sends the packet to a specified sFlow collector, the IP Address you assigned in
the switch UI. The sFlow collector analyzes the sFlow packets and displays the
result.
sFlow has the following two sampling mechanisms:
 Flow sampling: Packet-based sampling, used to obtain packet content
information.
 Counter sampling: Time-based sampling, used to obtain port traffic statistics.
Type the IP address of sFlow collector in the Receiver Configuration. The sFlow
agent will send the collected information to it.
This next page displays the configured sFlow Samplers on the switch .
