Configuring the Counter Sampling Interval

Configure the counter sampling interval values at port level to determine how often the sFlow agent polls and exports counters for a configured interface.

Before you begin

You must globally enable sFlow.

Procedure

Enter GigabitEthernet Interface Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal

interface GigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]}

Note

If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
Configure the counter sampling interval:

sflow counter—interval <1–3600>
Verify the configuration:

show sflow interface {slot/port[/sub-port] [-slot/port[/sub-port]] [,...]}

Example

Verify all slots use the default polling-interval configuration.

Switch:1(config-if)#sflow counter-interval 525
Switch:1(config-if)#show sflow interface 1/1-1/10

Variable Definitions

Use the data in the following table to use the sflow counter-interval and show sflow interface commands.


Variable	Value
`<1–3600>`	Specifies the polling interval for a slot. Default value is 0 (disabled).
`{slot/port[/sub-port] [-slot/port[/sub-port]] [,...]}`	Identifies the slot and port in one of the following formats: a single slot and port (slot/port), a range of slots and ports (slot/port-slot/port), or a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port). If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
