Syntax
sflow rcvr_index destination {ip-address [port] | maxdatagram size | owner
“owner_string” {notimeout|timeout rcvr_timeout}}
no sflow rcvr_index destination [ip-address | maxdatagram | owner]
• rcvr_index — The index of this sFlow Receiver (Range: 1–8).
• ip-address — The sFlow receiver IP address. If set to 0.0.0.0, no sFlow
datagrams will be sent.
• size — The maximum number of data bytes that can be sent in a single
sample datagram. The management entity should set this value to avoid
fragmentation of the sFlow datagrams. (Range: 200–9116 bytes).
• 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).
