Syntax
sflow collector {ip-address | ipv6-address} agent-addr {ip-address | ipv6-
address} [number [max-datagram-size number]] | [max-datagram-size number]
To delete a configured collector, use the no sflow collector {ip-address | ipv6-address}
agent-addr {ipv4-address | ipv6-address} [number [max-datagram-size
number]] | [max-datagram-size number] command.
Parameters
sflow collector
ip-address |
ipv6-address
Enter the IP address of the collector in dotted decimal format for IPv4 or x:x:x:x::x

Usage
Information

The sFlow agent address is carried in a field in SFlow packets and is used by the collector to identify the
sFlow agent.
