sFlow

sFlow (RFC3176) is a technology for monitoring traffic in data networks containing switches and routers. The sFlow
monitoring system consists of an sFlow Agent (embedded in a switch or router or in a standalone probe) and a
central sFlow Collector. The architecture and sampling techniques used in the sFlow monitoring system were
designed for providing continuous site-wide (and enterprise-wide) traffic monitoring of high speed switched and
routed networks.

sFlow Analyzer Server Settings

The Switch can support 4 different Analyzer Servers at the same time and each sampler or poller can select a
collector to send the samples. We can send different samples from different samplers or pollers to different
collectors.
