4.23 sFlow Consideration

SFlow is an industry standard technology for monitoring switched networks through random
sampling of packets on switch ports and time-based sampling of port counters. The sampled packets
and counters (referred to as flow samples and counter samples, respectively) are sent as sFlow UDP
datagrams to a central network traffic monitoring server. This central server is called an sFlow
receiver or sFlow collector.
Additional information can be found at http://sflow.org.

sFlow Configuration displays

This sub-section allows configuring sFlow. The configuration is divided into two parts: Configuration
of the sFlow receiver (a.k.a. sFlow collector) and configuration of per-port flow and counter samplers.
sFlow configuration is not persisted to non-volatile memory, which means that a reboot will disable
sFlow sampling.
