Specify Collectors
The sflow collector command allows identification of sFlow Collectors to which sFlow datagrams are
forwarded. The user can specify up to two sFlow collectors. If two Collectors are specified, the samples are
sent to both.
Collection through Management interface is supported on platform:
e.
Polling Intervals
The sflow polling-interval command configures the polling interval for an interface in the maximum
number of seconds between successive samples of counters to be sent to the collector. This command

The sFlow sampling rate is the number of packets that are skipped before the next sample is taken. sFlow
does not have time-based packet sampling.
