Use this command to set the sFlow collector parameters back to the defaults.

Field Description
Receiver Index The sFlow Receiver for this sFlow sampler to which flow samples are to be sent. A value
of zero (0) means that no receiver is configured, no packets will be sampled. Only active
receivers can be set. If a receiver expires, then all samplers associated with the receiver
will also expire. Possible values are 1-8. The default is 0.
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 0-4294967295 seconds. The default is zero (0).
Receiver Max
Datagram Size
The maximum number of data bytes that can be sent in a single sample datagram. The
management entity should set this value to avoid fragmentation of the sFlow datagrams.
The allowed range is 200 –9,116). The default is 1400.
Receiver IP The sFlow receiver IP address. If set to 0.0.0.0, no sFlow datagrams will be sent. The
default is 0.0.0.0.
Receiver Port The destination Layer4 UDP port for sFlow datagrams. The range is 1-65535. The
default is 6343.
Format no sflow receiver <rcvr_idx> [owner | maxdatagram | ip | port]
