| timeout value will become 400 automatically. |
Timeout | The length of time before the server is timed out. When the analyzer server times out, all |
| of the flow samplers and counter pollers associated with this analyzer server will be |
| deleted. “Infinite” indicates that the analyzer server will never time out. If not specified, the |
| default value is 400. |
Collector Address | The IP address of the analyzer server. If not specified, the address will be 0.0.0.0 which |
| means that the entry will be inactive. |
|
|
Collector Port | The destination UDP port for sending the sFlow datagrams. If not specified, the default |
| value is 6364. |
|
|
Max Datagram size | The maximum number of data bytes that can be packed in a single sample datagram. If not |
specified, the default value is 1400. |

sFlow Flow Sampler Settings
This table is used to create sFlow flow sampler settings on the Switch. By configuring the sampling function for a port, a sample packet received by this port will be encapsulated and forwarded to the analyzer server at the specified interval.
To view this window, click Configuration > sFlow > sFlow Flow Sampler Settings as shown below:
Figure 2 - 57 sFlow Flow Sampler Settings window
The following parameters can be configured:
ParameterDescription
From Port / To Port | Specifies the port or list of ports to be configured. |
|
|
Analyzer Server ID (1- | The analyzer server id specifies the ID of a server analyzer where the packet will be |
4) | forwarded. |
|
|
Rate | The sampling rate for packet sampling. The actual rate is the configured rate value |
| multiplied by 256. For example, if the rate is 20, the actual rate 5120. One packet will be |
| sampled from about 5120 packets. If set to 0, the sampler is disabled. If the rate is not |
| specified, its default value is 0. |
|
|
MAX Header Size (18- | The maximum number of leading bytes in the packet which will be sampled, encapsulated |
256) | and forwarded to the server. If not specified, the default value is 128. |
