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…
Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view

—
Specify the IP address of the
sFlow agent

Required
Not configured by default.
Specify the IP address and port
number of the sFlow collector
sflow collector ip
ip-address
[

port-num
]
Required
Not specified by default.
Set the counter sampling
interval at which the sFlow
agent collects the statistics of
sFlow enabled ports
sflow interval interval-time
Optional
20 seconds by default.
Enter Ethernet port view
