Description
Receiver Configuration
Owner
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.
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 it is 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 clock on the Refresh-button.
If locally managed, the timeout can be changed on the fly
without affecting any other settings.
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.The valid range
is 200 to 1468 bytes, with the default being 1400 bytes.
Port Configuration
Port
The port number that the configuration below applies to.
Flow Sampler
Enabled
Enables/disables flow sampling on this port.
