• Timeout – The time that the sFlow process will continuously send samples to the Collector
before resetting all sFlow port parameters. (Range: 0-10000000 seconds, where 0 indicates
no time out)
• The sFlow parameters affected by this command include the sampling interval, the receiver’s
name, address and UDP port, the time out, maximum header size, and maximum datagram
size.
• Max Header Size – Maximum size of the sFlow datagram header.
(Range: 64-256 bytes; Default: 128 bytes)
• Max Datagram Size – Maximum size of the sFlow datagram payload.
(Range: 200-1500 bytes; Default: 1400 bytes)
• Sample Rate – The number of packets out of which one sample will be taken.
(Range: 256-16777215 packets; Default: Disabled)
• Polling Interval – The interval at which counters are added to the sample datagram.
(Range: 0-10000000 seconds, where 0 disables this feature; Default: Disabled)
