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.
sflow receiver
Use this command to configure the sFlow collector parameters (owner string, receiver timeout, max datagram size, IP
address, and port).
no sflow receiver
Use this command to set the sFlow collector parameters back to the defaults.
sflow sampler
A data source configured to collect flow samples is called a sampler. Use this command to configure a new sFlow sampler
instance for this data source if <
rcvr_idx> is valid.
Format
sflow receiver < rcvr_idx > owner < owner-string > timeout < rcvr_timeout > max
datagram < size > ip/ipv6 < ip > port < port >
Mode Global Config
Field Description
Receiver Owner The identity string for the receiver, the entity making use of this sFlowRcvrTable entry. The range is
127 characters. The default is a null string. The empty string indicates that the entry is currently
unclaimed and the receiver configuration is reset to the default values. An entity wishing to claim an
sFlowRcvrTable entry must ensure that the entry is unclaimed before trying to claim it. The entry is
claimed by setting the owner string to a non-null value. The entry must be claimed before assigning a
receiver to a sampler or poller.
Receiver Timeout The time, in seconds, remaining before the sampler or poller is released and stops sending samples
to receiver. A management entity wanting to maintain control of the sampler is responsible for setting
a new value before the old one expires. The allowed range is 0-4294967295 seconds. The default is
zero (0).
Receiver Max
Datagram Size The maximum number of data bytes that can be sent in a single sample datagram. The management
entity should set this value to avoid fragmentation of the sFlow datagrams. The allowed range is 200
to 9116). The default is 1400.
Receiver IP The sFlow receiver IP address. If set to 0.0.0.0, no sFlow datagrams will be sent. The default is 0.0.0.0.
Receiver Port The destination Layer4 UDP port for sFlow datagrams. The range is 1-65535. The default is 6343.
Format
no sflow receiver < indx > {ip < ip-address > | maxdatagram < size > | owner < string >
timeout < interval > | port < 14-port >}
