Switch Management Commands 2239
• owner_string —The identity string for the receiver. A receiver is not
enabled until the owner string is assigned. The default is an empty
string. The identity string must be set before assigning a receiver to a
sampler or poller. (Range: 1–127 characters).
•
rcvr_timeout —The time, in seconds, remaining before the sampler or
poller is released and stops sending samples to the receiver. Setting a
value of 0 for the timeout value permanently configures the sflow
receiver. Use the no form of the command to remove permanently
configured receivers. A management entity wanting to maintain control
of the sampler is responsible for setting a new value before the old one
expires. (Range: 0–2147483647 seconds).
•
port —The destination Layer4 UDP port for sFlow datagrams. (Range:
1–65535).

User Guidelines
An sflow destination entry must have an owner assigned in order for polling or
sampling to be operational. The last set of command parameters are optional
in the no form of the command. Sflow commands with a timeout value
supplied do not show in the running config. Because the timer is actively
running, the command is ephemeral and is therefore not shown in the
running config. Entering an sflow command with a notimeout parameter will
cause the sflow configuration to be shown in the running config.
