(config)#

•See "3.23.1 Checking Filtering/QoS Setting Information" to confirm that "filter" is not set for the physical port subject to flow statistics.

•Specifying Source IP address for sFlow packets with "sflow source," check to see if the IP address is assigned to the port of this system.

Figure 3-24: Display Example of Configuration 4

(config)# show sflow

sflow destination 192.1.1.1 6455 sflow sample 2048

sflow source 192.1.1.100 <- This IP address must be one assigned to the port of this system.

(config)#

(4) Checking NIF/port status

Execute the show interfaces command to check that up/down status of the physical port of this system or the physical port connecting to the collector to be monitored by sFlow statistics is "active" (normal operation).

Note: Confirm that "active" or "active up" is displayed at the underlined part.

If the port status is DOWN, see "3.6.1 Communication Is Disabled or Is Disconnected" and "3.9.1 Communication Is Disabled or Is Disconnected."

(5) Checking settings of collector

•Confirm that the UDP port number (default: 6343) on the collector side is available to receive packets.

If the port is not ready for receiving packets, ICMP ([Type]Destination Unreachable [Code]Port Unreachable) will be transmitted to this system.

•Confirm that other settings on the collector used are correct.
