Sflow Commands

sFlow is the standard for monitoring high-speed switched and routed
networks. sFlow technology is built into network equipment and gives
complete visibility into network activity, enabling effective management and
control of network resources.
The sFlow monitoring system consists of an sFlow Agent (embedded in a
switch or router or in a stand-alone probe) and a central sFlow Collector. The
sFlow Agent uses sampling technology to capture traffic statistics from the
device it is monitoring. sFlow datagrams are used to forward the sampled
traffic statistics immediately to an sFlow Collector for analysis.
The sFlow Agent supports two forms of sampling: statistical packet-based
sampling of switched or routed Packet Flows and time-based sampling of
counters.

Use the sflow destination command to configure the sFlow collector
parameters (owner string, receiver timeout, maxdatagram, ip address and
port). Use the "no" form of this command to set receiver parameters to the
default or remove a receiver.
