Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
■ Timeout displays the number of seconds remaining before the switch
agent will automatically disable sFlow (this is set by the management
station and decrements with time).
■ Max Datagram Size shows the currently set value (typically a
default value, but this can also be set by the management station).
The show sflow <instance> sampling-polling [port-list] command displays infor-
mation about sFlow sampling and polling on the switch. You can specify a list
or range of ports for which to view sampling information.
Figure 13-13. Example of Viewing sFlow Sampling and Polling Information
Note The sampling and polling instances (noted in parentheses) coupled to a
specific receiver instance are assigned dynamically, and so the instance
numbers may not always match. The key thing to note is whether sampling or
polling is enabled on a port, and the sampling rates or polling intervals for the
receiver instance configured on each port.

Number denotes the sampling/polling instance to which the receiver is coupled.
