Reference Guide

In sFlow, the agent address is a single invariant IPv4 or IPv6 address used to identify the agent to the
collector. It is usually assigned the address of a loopback interface on the agent, which provides
invariance. The agent address is carried as a field in the payload of the sFlow packets.
As part of the sFlow-MIB, if the SNMP request originates from a configured collector, the system returns
the corresponding configured agent IP in the MIB requests. The system checks to ensure that two entries
are not configured for the same collector IP with a different agent IP. Should that happen, the system
generates the following error: %Error: Different agent-addr attempted for an existing
collector.
