Chapter 4: Utility Commands 275
sFlow Commands
sFlow is the standard for monitoring high-speed switched and routed networks.
sFlow technology is built into network equipment and gives complete visibility
into network activity, enabling effective management and control of network
resources.
sflow receiver Use this command to configure the sFlow collector parameters (owner string,
receiver timeout, max datagram size, IP address, and port).
Format
sflow receiver rcvr_idx {owner owner-string timeout
rcvr_timeout | max datagram size | ip ip | port port}
Mode Global Config
Parameter Description
Receiver Owner The identity string for the receiver, the entity making
use of this sFlowRcvrTable entry. The range is 127
characters. The default is a null string. The empty
string indicates that the entry is currently unclaimed
and the receiver configuration is reset to the default
values. An entity wishing to claim an
sFlowRcvrTable entry must ensure that the entry is
unclaimed before trying to claim it. The entry is
claimed by setting the owner string to a non-null
value. The entry must be claimed before assigning a
receiver to a sampler or poller.
Receiver Timeout The time, in seconds, remaining before the sampler
or poller is released and stops sending samples to
receiver. A management entity wanting to maintain
control of the sampler is responsible for setting a
new value before the old one expires. The allowed
range is 0-2147483647 seconds. The default is zero
(0).
No Timeout The configured entry will be in the config until you
explicitly removes the entry.
