Table 18-4 describes how to display RMON information and statistics.
sFlow
sFlow is a method for monitoring high-speed switched and routed networks. sFlow technology is
built into network equipment and gives visibility into network activity, enabling effective
management and control of network resources.
An sFlow solution consists of an sFlow Agent, embedded in the network device such as a switch
or router, and an sFlow Collector. The sFlow Agent uses sampling technology to capture traffic
statistics from the device it is monitoring and immediately forwards the sampled traffic statistics
to an sFlow Collector for analysis in sFlow datagrams.
The sFlow Agent uses two forms of sampling— statistical packet-based sampling of switched or
routed Packet Flows, and time-based sampling of counters.
Version 5 of sFlow is described in detail in the document entitled “sFlow Version 5” available from
sFlow.org (http://www.sflow.org).
