Parameter description:
Agent Configuration
 IP Address
The IP address used as Agent IP address in sFlow datagrams. It serves as a
unique key that will identify this agent over extended periods of time.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
Receiver Configuration
 Owner
Basically, sFlow can be configured in two ways: Through local management using
the Web or CLI interface or through SNMP. This read-only field shows the owner of
the current sFlow configuration and assumes values as follows:
• If sFlow is currently unconfigured/unclaimed, Owner contains <none>.
• If sFlow is currently configured through Web or CLI, Owner contains
<Configured through local management>.
• If sFlow is currently configured through SNMP, Owner contains a string
identifying the sFlow receiver.
If sFlow is configured through SNMP, all controls - except for the Release-button
- are disabled to avoid inadvertent reconfiguration.
The button allows for releasing the current owner and disable sFlow sampling.
The button is disabled if sFlow is currently unclaimed. If configured through SNMP,
the release must be confirmed (a confirmation request will appear).
 IP Address/Hostname
The IP address or hostname of the sFlow receiver.Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
are supported.
 UDP Port
The UDP port on which the sFlow receiver listens to sFlow datagrams. If set to 0
(zero), the default port (6343) is used.
 Timeout
The number of seconds remaining before sampling stops and the current sFlow
owner is released. While active, the current time left can be updated with a click
on the Refresh-button. If locally managed, the timeout can be changed on the fly
without affecting any other settings.
