Enable sFlow and Configure the Agent IP Address

Use this procedure to enable sFlow and configure the sFlow agent IP address so the system can send packets to an sFlow collector.

About this task

Application Telemetry and sFlow both use the sFlow Globals tab.

You can configure sFlow on Segmented Management Instance interfaces OOB, VLAN, and CLIP. You can also use routing VLANs or loopback IPs as the source IP address. Configure the agent IP address to match the Management Instance interface, routing VLAN or loopback IP address.

Before you begin

You must enable sFlow before you enable Application Telemetry.

Procedure

In the navigation pane, expand the Configuration > Serviceability folders.
Select Sflow.
Select the Globals tab.
Select AdminEnable to enable sFlow.
In the AgentAddress field, enter the agent IPv4 address.
Select Apply.

What to do next

After you configure the agent IP address and globally enable sFlow, proceed to configuring the sFlow collector.
