4. In the Owner field, enter a string to identify the sFlow receiver.
5. In the Time Out field, specify a value in seconds from 1 to 999999999 (roughly
31 years).
The timeout reserves this receiver instance for the specified receiver for the set
amount of time. Generally, when you configure an sFlow receiver instance
manually, you should set the timeout very high (to days or weeks). All settings
in the instance are erased when the timeout expires, and you do not want to
reconfigure the instance frequently.
Always set a timeout. If you attempt set the timeout field to 0, your settings are
immediately lost.
6. In the Maximum Datagram Size field, enter the maximum size of an sFlow
datagram in bytes.
The valid range is from 800 to 1400 bytes, and the default is 1400. The primary
reason to lower the size would be that devices between the Wireless Edge
Services zl Module have low MTUs, but you do not want them to fragment the
datagram.
7. In the Receiver Address field, enter the sFlow receiver’s IP address.
8. In the Receiver Port field, accept the default port (6343) or enter the UDP port
used by this receiver.
The valid range is from 1 to 65535.
9. From the 802.11 Map drop-down menu, choose how the module’s sFlow agent
creates the sample.
The default setting is Unchanged; the module creates the sample as specified by
the 802.11 extensions to sFlow. For example, it includes the 802.11 header.
