Configure sFlow polling and sampling on an interface
If the switch is configured as an sFlow agent, the switch can do the following:
• Collect statistical packet-based sampling of switched flows and sends them to the
configured receivers. A data source that is configured to collect flow samples is
called a sampler.
• Collect time-based sampling of network interface statistics and send them to the
configured sFlow receivers. A data source configured to collect counter samples is
called a poller.
You can configure sampling and a polling settings on a switch interface. Traffic on the
interface is then sampled and polled and forwarded to the sFlow receiver.
To configure sFlow polling and sampling on an interface:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Click the Main UI Login button.
The main UI login page displays in a new tab.
4. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login
button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Monitoring> sFlow > Advanced > sFlow Interface Configuration.
The sFlow Interface Configuration page displays.
6. Use one of the following methods to select an interface for the flow poller and
sampler:
• In the Go To Interface field, enter the interface in the unit/slot/port format and
click on the Go button.
• Next to the Interface column, select the check box for the interface that you want
to use.
You can select physical ports only.
7. In the Poller Receiver Index field, specify the sFlow receiver that must be associated
with the poller.
For information about sFlow receivers, see Configure an sFlow receiver on page 727.
