sFlow configuration is not persisted to non-volatile memory, which means that a reboot will
disable sFlow sampling.
AGENT CONFIGURATION
IP Address
The IP address used as Agent IP address in sFlow datagrams. It serves as a unique key that will identify
this agent over extended periods of time.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
RECEIVER CONFIGURATION
Owner
Basically, sFlow can be configured in two ways: Through local management using the Web or CLI
interface or through SNMP. This read-only field shows the owner of the current sFlow configuration and
assumes values as follows:
• If sFlow is currently unconfigured/unclaimed, Owner contains
<none>
.
• If sFlow is currently configured through Web or CLI, Owner contains
<Configured through
local management>
.
• If sFlow is currently configured through SNMP, Owner contains a string identifying the sFlow receiver.
If sFlow is configured through SNMP, all controls - except for the Release-button - are disabled to avoid
inadvertent reconfiguration.
The button allows for releasing the current owner and disable sFlow sampling. The button is
disabled if sFlow is currently unclaimed. If configured through SNMP, the release must be confirmed (a
confirmation request will appear).
IP Address/Hostname
The IP address or hostname of the sFlow receiver. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
UDP Port
The UDP port on which the sFlow receiver listens to sFlow datagrams. If set to 0 (zero), the default port
(6343) is used.
Timeout
The number of seconds remaining before sampling stops and the current sFlow owner is released. While
active, the current time left can be updated with a click on the Refresh-button. If locally managed, the
timeout can be changed on the fly without affecting any other settings. Valid range is 0 to 2147483647
seconds.
Max. Datagram Size
The maximum number of data bytes that can be sent in a single sample datagram. This should be set to a
value that avoids fragmentation of the sFlow datagrams. Valid range is 200 to 1468 bytes with default
being 1400 bytes.
