sFlow information (Continued)
TABLE 37
Parameter
Definition
exporting cpu-traffic
sample rate
The sampling rate for CPU-directed data, which is the average ratio of the number of
incoming packets on an sFlow-enabled port, to the number of flow samples taken from
those packets.
exporting system-info
Indicates whether or not the sFlow agent is configured to export information about CPU
and memory usage to the sFlow collector:
• enabled
• disabled
exporting system-info
polling interval
Specifies the interval, in seconds, that sFlow data is sent to the sFlow collector.
UDP packets exported
The number of sFlow export packets the Brocade device has sent.
NOTE
Each UDP packet can contain multiple samples.
sFlow samples collected
The number of sampled packets that have been sent to the collectors.
sFlow ports
The ports on which you enabled sFlow.
Module Sampling Rates
The configured and actual sampling rates for each module. If a module does not have
any sFlow-enabled ports, the rates are listed as 0.
Port Sampling Rates
The configured and actual sampling rates for each sFlow-enabled port.
The Subsampling factor indicates how many times the sampling rate of the port's
module is multiplied to achieve the port's sampling rate. Because of the way the actual
sampling rates are computed, the Subsampling factors are always whole numbers.
Clearing sFlow statistics
To clear the UDP packet and sFlow sample counters in the
show sflow
display, enter the following
command.
device#clear statistics
Syntax:
clear statistics
This command clears the values in the following fields of the
show sflow
display:
• UDP packets exported
• sFlow samples collected
NOTE
This command also clears the statistics counters used by other features.
