Mode

Switch command, read‐write.

Usage

In order for an sFlow Collector to be assigned to receive sample datagrams from the sFlow Agent on the switch, an entry for that Collector must be configured in the switch’s sFlow Receivers Table. An entry must contain an owner identity string, a non‐zero timeout value, and the IP address of the Collector. Configure the IP address with the set sflow receiver ip command.

An entry without an owner identity string is considered unclaimed and cannot be assigned as a receiver to sampler or poller instances.

Once the timer set by this command expires, the receiver/Collector and all the samplers and pollers associated with this Collector expire and are removed from the switch’s configuration. In order to start sending sample data to the Collector again, the Collector must be reconfigured with a new timeout value and samplers and pollers must be configured again. Therefore, you should consider setting the timeout value to the largest value that is reasonable for your environment.

Example

This example configures an entry for index 1 in the sFlow Receivers Table.
