sFlow Configuration Example 1205
■ GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 belongs to VLAN 1, having an IP address of 3.3.3.1.
Run sFlow agent on Switch, and enable sFlow on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to monitor
traffic on this interface. Switch sends sFlow packets through GigabitEthernet 1/0/3
to Host B, which then analyzes the sFlow packets and displays the results.
