3) When the sFlow packet buffer overflows or the one-second timer expires, the sFlow agent sends
sFlow packets to the specified sFlow collector.

Configuring sFlow

The sFlow feature enables the remote sFlow collector to monitor the network and analyze sFlow packet
statistics.
Follow these steps to configure sFlow:
To do...
Enter system view
Specify the IP address of the
sFlow agent
Specify the IP address and port
number of the sFlow collector
Set the counter sampling
interval at which the sFlow
agent collects the statistics of
sFlow enabled ports
Enter Ethernet port view
Enable sFlow in the inbound or
outbound direction
Specify the sFlow sampling
mode
Specify the number of packets
out of which the interface will
sample a packet
The sFlow agent and sFlow collector must not have the same IP address.
Currently, you can specify at most two sFlow collectors on the device.
