4.20 sFlow Configuration
Sampled Flow (sFlow) is a traffic monitoring technology mainly used to collect and analyze traffic
statistics. The switch supports sFlow feature. The sFlow software agent collects traffic statistics and
packet information from the sFlow-enabled interfaces on the switch, encapsulates them into sFlow
packets. The sFlow agent then sends the packet to a specified sFlow collector, the IP Address you
assigned in the switch UI. The sFlow collector analyzes the sFlow packets and displays the result.
sFlow has the following two sampling mechanisms:
* Flow sampling: Packet-based sampling, used to obtain packet content information.
* Counter sampling: Time-based sampling, used to obtain port traffic statistics.
Type the IP address of sFlow collector in the Receiver Configuration. The sFlow agent will send the
collected information to it.
This next page displays the configured sFlow Samplers on the switch .
