sFlow scenario

In this scenario, two hosts send sFlow traffic through a switch to an sFlow collector.The physical topology of the network looks like this:

Procedure

1. Enable sFlow globally.

switch#configswitch(config)#sflow

2. Set the sFlow agent IP address to10.10.12.1.

switch(config)#sflow agent-ip 10.10.12.1

3. Set the sFlow collector IP address to10.10.12.2.

switch(config)#sflow collector 18.2.2.2

4. Configure sFLow sampling rate and polling interval.

switch(config)#sflow sampling 5000switch(config)#sflow polling 20

5. Configure interface1/1/1with IP address10.10.10.1/24.

switch(config)#interface 1/1/1switch(config-if)#no shutdownswitch(config-if)#ip address 10.10.10.1/24switch(config)#quit

6. Configure interface1/1/2with IP address10.10.11.1/24.

switch(config)#interface 1/1/2switch(config-if)#no shutdownswitch(config-if)#ip address 10.10.11.1/24switch(config)#quit

7. Configure interface1/1/3with IP address10.10.12.1/24.

switch(config)#interface 1/1/3switch(config-if)#no shutdownswitch(config-if)#ip address 10.10.12.1/24switch(config)#quit

8. Verify sFlow configuration

The following example is only applicable for the 8360 series switch
