To configure the agent to forward these port statistics to the collectors, you

have to specify polling rates, which define the maximum amount of time

permitted between successive queries of the counters of a port by the

agent.

Different ports can have different polling rates. Ports to which critical

network devices are connected can be assigned low polling rates, so that

the information on the collector is kept up-to-date. Ports connected to less

critical devices can be assigned higher polling rates.

To increase its efficiency, the agent can send port status and counter

information before the polling interval of a port times out. For example, if

you define a polling interval of five minutes for a port, the agent, depending

on its internal dynamics, may send the information to the collector before

five minutes have actually elapsed.

sFlow Collectors The sFlow agent on the switch can send port performance data to up to an

sFlow collector on your network. The performance data from each port can

be sent to one collector.

Guidelines Here are the guidelines for the sFlow agent:

 The sFlow agent can send port performance data to up to four sFlow

collectors on your network.

 The switch must have a management IP address. For instructions,

refer to Chapter 17, “Setting IPv4 and IPv6 Management” on page

187.

 The sFlow collectors must be members of the same subnet as the

management IP address of the switch, or must have access to it

through routers or other Layer 3 devices.

 If the sFlow collectors are not a member of the same subnet as the

management IP address of the switch, the switch must have a default

gateway that specifies the first hop to reaching the collectors’ subnet.

For instructions, refer to Chapter 17, “Setting IPv4 and IPv6

Management” on page 187.

 The sFlow feature is not dependent on SNMP. You do not have to

enable or configure SNMP on the switch to use the sFlow feature. In

addition, you cannot use sFlow collectors to configure or manage

SNMP.
