sFlow agent settings
This page displays all data sources that are available for sampling on an AP. Each data source
can support up to three configurable sampling instances.
Data source
Name of a port on which the sFlow agent is active.
Global ifIndex
Each port on an AP is automatically assigned a unique number starting at 32001. This
uniquely identifies the port across all ports on all controlled APs. The number is available to
the collectors as an ifIndex value and can be retrieved using ifIndex-related MIB elements.
Instance
Each port can support up to three instances. Each instance defines a configurable sampling
process. To configure an instance, select it.
Packet flow sampling
Collector: Name of the collector to which packet sampling data will be sent.
Sampling rate: Defines how often samples are taken.
Counter polling
Collector: Name of the collector to which counter polling data will be sent.
Polling interval: Defines how often samples are taken.
