sFlow Commands
sFlow
®
is the standard for monitoring high-speed switched and routed networks. sFlow technology
is built into network equipment and gives complete visibility into network activity, enabling
effective management and control of network resources.
sflow receiver
Use this command to configure the sFlow collector parameters (owner string, receiver timeout,
max datagram size, IP address, and port).
Cable Length If this feature is supported by the PHY for the current link speed, the cable length is
displayed as a range between the shortest estimated length and the longest estimated
length. Note that if the link is down and a cable is attached to a 10/100 Ethernet adapter,
then the cable status may display as Open or Short because some Ethernet adapters
leave unused wire pairs unterminated or grounded. Unknown is displayed if the cable
length could not be determined.
Format sflow receiver <rcvr_idx> owner <owner-string> timeout <rcvr_timeout>
max datagram <size> ip/ipv6 <ip> port <port>
Mode Global Config
Field Description
Receiver Owner The identity string for the receiver, the entity making use of this sFlowRcvrTable entry. The
range is 127 characters. The default is a null string. The empty string indicates that the
entry is currently unclaimed and the receiver configuration is reset to the default values.
An entity wishing to claim an sFlowRcvrTable entry must ensure that the entry is
unclaimed before trying to claim it. The entry is claimed by setting the owner string to a
non-null value. The entry must be claimed before assigning a receiver to a sampler or
poller.
Receiver
Timeout
The time, in seconds, remaining before the sampler or poller is released and stops
sending samples to receiver. A management entity wanting to maintain control of the
sampler is responsible for setting a new value before the old one expires. The allowed
range is 0-4294967295 seconds. The default is zero (0).
