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.

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.
