Use sFlow receivers to provide visibility into your switch traffic patterns.
Configure sFlow receivers as common objects that you can assign to specific devices.
Use the following procedure to configure an sFlow receiver as a common object.
Note
sFlow is only available for SR/Dell switch models.
Go to Configure > Common Objects > Network > sFlow Receivers.
Select an existing sFlow
Receiver, and then select , or select , and then select Switch from the menu.
Type a
Name.
Type an optional
Description.
Type the IP address of the
receiver, to which the accumulated data will be sent.
Select a UDP Port Number.
This is the UDP port number of the sFlow receiver where the data will be
sent. The default UDP port number is 6343. (Range: 1-65535).
Select a Maximum Datagram
Size.
This is the maximum number of data bytes that can be sent in a single sFlow
diagram. Select a value that avoids datagram fragmentation.
The Owner String is an identity string required for the
sFlow receiver configuration to take affect.
This is usually the same as the receiver name.
Select a timeout value.
This is the time, in seconds, before the sFlow sampler stops sending data to
the receiver. A zero receiver timeout displays the sFlow receiver
configuration in the running config.
Select a sampling rate (number
of packets) and sample size (in bytes).
A higher sampling rate lowers the CPU burden on the device, and helps ensure
that all collected samples can be sent to the receiver.
Select an interval for the sFlow receiver.
Select SAVE SFLOW
RECEIVERS.
You can delete a single sFlow receiver or multiple receivers. Select the
corresponding check boxes for the receivers and then select the delete
icon.
You can add a new sFlow receiver by creating a clone of an existing receiver
and then renaming it. Select the check box for the sFlow receiver that you
want to clone and then select the clone icon. Type the new
Name and then select Clone.
