Configure an IP
sFlow agent.
sflow agent
{
ip
ip-address |
ipv6
ipv6-address }
By default, no IP address is configured for the
sFlow agent. The device periodically checks
whether the sFlow agent has an IP address. If
not, the device automatically
address for the sFlow agent but does not save
the IPv4 address in the configuration file.
NOTE:
• As a best practice, configure an IP address
for the sFlow agent manually.
• Only one IP address can be configured for
the sFlow agent on the device, and a newly
configured
IP address overwrites the
existing one.

By default, no sFlow collector information is

By default, the source IP address is determined
by routing.
Configuring flow sampling
Perform this task to configure flow sampling on an Ethernet interface. The sFlow agent performs the
following operations:
1. Samples packets on that interface according to the configured parameters.
2. Encapsulates the packets into sFlow packets.
3. Encapsulates the sFlow packets in the UDP packets and sends the UDP packets to the
specified sFlow collector.
To configure flow sampling:
1. Enter system view.

2. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet
interface view or
