Brocade Communications Systems 6650 manual Specifying the collector

11 sFlow

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 page 256.
