default values. An entity wishing to claim an sFlowRcvrTable entry must ensure that the
entry is unclaimed before trying to claim it. The entry is claimed by setting the owner
string. The entry must be claimed before any changes can be made to other sampler
objects.
2. Receiver T
imeout - The time (in seconds) remaining before the sampler is released and
stops sampling. A management entity wanting to maintain control of the sampler is
responsible for setting a new value before the old one expires. Valid range is (0 to
2147483647). A value of zero sets the selected receiver configuration to its default values.
3. Use No T
imeout to select True or False from the menu to set the no timeout sampling for
the receiver. Sampling will not be stopped until 'No Timeout' selected entry is True. The
default value is False.
4. Maximum Datagram Size -
The maximum number of data bytes that can be sent in a
single sample datagram. The manager should set this value to avoid fragmentation of the
sFlow datagrams. Default Value: 1400. Allowed range is (200 to 9116).
5. Receiver Address -
The IP address of the sFlow collector. If set to 0.0.0.0 no sFlow
datagrams will be sent.
6. Receiver Port -
The destination port for sFlow datagrams. Allowed range is (1 to 65535).
Field Description
Receiver Datagram Version The version of sFlow datagrams that should be sent.
sFlow Interface Configuration
sFlow agent collects statistical packet-based sampling of switched flows and sends them to
the configured receivers. A data source configured to collect flow samples is called a
sampler. sFlow agent also collects time-based sampling of network interface statistics and
sends them to the configured sFlow receivers. A data source configured to collect counter
samples is called a poller.
