configure sflow collector ipaddress

configure sflow collector {ipaddress} ipaddress {port udp-port-number} {vr vr_name}

Description

Configures the sFlow collector IP address.

Syntax Description


`ipaddress`	Specifies the IP address to send the sFlow data.
`udp-port-number`	Specifies the UDP port to send the sFlow data.
`vr_name`	Specifies from which virtual router to send the sFlow data. Note: User-created VRs are supported only on the platforms listed for this feature in the Switch Engine 32.2 Feature License Requirements document.

Default

The following values are the defaults for this command:

UDP port number—6343
Virtual router—VR-Mgmt (previously called VR-0)

Usage Guidelines

This command allows you to configure where to send the sFlow data. You must specify an IP address for the sFlow data collector, and you may specify a particular UDP port, if your collector uses a non-standard port. You may also need to specify from which virtual router to send the data.

You can configure up to four sFlow collectors. Each unique IP address/UDP port/virtual router combination identifies a collector.

Both the commands unconfigure ports monitor vlan and unconfigure sflow collector will reset the collector parameters to the default.

Example

The following command specifies that sFlow data should be sent to port 6343 at IP address 192.168.57.1 using the virtual router VR-Mgmt:

configure sflow collector ipaddress 192.168.57.1

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 11.0.
