sFlow Monitoring Overview
Sample Flow (sFlow) is a technique to monitor data transmission
of network equipments such as routers and switches. sFlow
monitors flow of 10-gigabit or even bigger speed, and has
advantages of timely, actual, low-cost and being upgraded.
sflow is an expert format, and adds more information of
monitored data packets. It uses sFlow proxy embedded in
network equipments to send the sampled data packets to the
sFlow collectors. sFlow collectors analyzes and processes the
packets then gets information of current network.
Configuring sFlow
This topic describes the configuration of sFlow on ZXR10
2920/2928/2952/5116-FI/5124-FI.
For the configuration of sFlow, perform the following steps.
1. To set proxy IP address of sFlow, use command set
sflow agent-address <A. B. C. D> in global
configuration mode. This is shown in
Table 346.
TABLE 346 SET SFLOW AGENT ADDRESS COMMAND
Format Mode Function
set sflow agent-
address <A. B.
C. D>
global config This sets proxy IP
address of sFlow
Result: This sets proxy IP address of sFlow.
Note: Proxy IP address should be layer 3 poet IP address of
switches. If there are no enabled layer 3 ports on the
switches, proxy IP address of sFlow can not be set.
2. To set IP address of sFlow collector, use command set
sflow collector-address <A. B. C. D> in global
configuration mode. This is shown in
Table 347.
