NOTE
If you change the router ID or other IP address value that sFlow uses for its agent_address, you need
to disable and then re-enable sFlow to cause the feature to use the new source address.
Specifying the collector
sFlow exports traffic statistics to an external collector. You can specify up to four collectors. You can
specify more than one collector with the same IP address if the UDP port numbers are unique. You
can have up to four unique combinations of IP addresses and UDP port numbers.
Specifying an sFlow collector on IPv4 devices
To specify an sFlow collector on an IPv4 device, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config)#sflow destination 10.10.10.1
This command specifies a collector with IPv4 address 10.10.10.1, listening for sFlow data on UDP
port 6343.
Syntax: [no] sflow destination <ip-addr> [<dest-udp-port>]
The <ip-addr> parameter specifies the IP address of the collector.
The <dest-udp-port> parameter specifies the UDP port on which the sFlow collector will be listening
for exported sFlow data. The default port number is 6343.
The sampled sFlow data sent to the collectors includes an agent_address field. This field identifies
the device that sent the data. Refer to “sFlow and source address” on page256.
