Description
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 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.
