address | ipv6-address} [number [max-datagram-size number]] |
[max-datagram-size number]
To delete a configured collector, use the no sflow collector {ipv4-address
| ipv6-address} agent-addr {ipv4-address | ipv6-address}
[number [max-datagram-size number]] | [max-datagram-size
number] command.
Parameters
sflow collector
ipv4-address |

Usage
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 the S5000 switch.
As part of the sFlow-MIB, if the SNMP request originates from a configured
collector, Dell Networking OS returns the corresponding configured agent IP in the
MIB requests. Dell Networking OS checks to ensure that two entries are not
configured for the same collector IP with a different agent IP. Should that happen,
Dell Networking OS generates the following error: %Error: Different agent-
addr attempted for an existing collector
