Figure 4-181: sFlow Configuration displays
Table 4-173: sFlow Configuration display parameters
This page allows for 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.

The IP address used as Agent IP address in sFlow datagrams. It serves
as a unique key that will identify this agent over extended periods of
time. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
Basically, sFlow can be configured in two ways: Through local
management using the Web or CLI 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 contains
<none>.
•
If sFlow is currently configured through Web or CLI, Owner
contains <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 allows for releasing the current owner and disable
sFlow sampling. The button is disabled if sFlow is currently unclaimed.
If configured through SNMP, the release must be confirmed (a
confirmation request will appear).
The IP address or hostname of the sFlow receiver. Both IPv4 and IPv6
addresses are supported.
The UDP port on which the sFlow receiver listens to sFlow datagrams.
If set to 0 (zero), the default port (6343) is used.
The number of seconds remaining before sampling stops and the
current sFlow owner is released. While active, the current time left
can be updated with a click on the Refresh-button. If locally managed,
the timeout can be changed on the fly without affecting any other
settings. Valid range is 0 to 2147483647 seconds.
The maximum number of data bytes that can be sent in a single
sample datagram. This should be set to a value that avoids
fragmentation of the sFlow datagrams. Valid range is 200 to 1468
bytes with default being 1400 bytes.
