Step 6. (Optional) Set the sampling rate of the mechanism. Run:

Step 7. (Optional) Set the maximum size of the data path sample. Run:

Step 8. (Optional) Set the frequency in which counters are polled. Run:

Step 9. (Optional) Set the maximum size of the datagrams sent to the central collector. Run:

Step 10. Enable the sFlow agent on the desired interfaces. Run:

5.11.6 Verifying sFlow

 To verify the attributes of the sFlow agent:

switch (config sflow) # sampling-rate 16000

This means that one every 16000 packet gets collected for sampling.

switch (config sflow) # max-sample-size 156

switch (config sflow) # counter-poll-interval 19

switch (config sflow) # max-datagram-size 1500

switch (config interface ethernet 1/1)# sflow enable

switch (config interface port-channel 1)# sflow enable

switch (config)# show sflow

sflow protocol enabled
