Information
You can configure up to two sFlow collectors (IPv4 or IPv6). If two collectors are configured, traffic
samples are sent to both.
The sFlow agent address is carried in a field in SFlow packets and is used by the collector to identify
the sFlow agent.
IPv6 sFlow collectors and agents are supported on E-Series (ExaScale and TeraScale), C-Series, and
S-Series routers.
To delete a configured collector, enter the no sflow collector {ipv4-address | ipv6-address}
agent-addr {ipv4-address | ipv6-address} [number [max-datagram-size number]] |
[max-datagram-size number] command.
