sFlow scenario

In this scenario, two hosts send sFlow traffic through a switch to an sFlow collector. The physical topology of the network looks like this:

On the 6400 Switch Series, interface identification differs.

Procedure

1. Enable sFlow globally.

switch# config switch(config)# sflow

2. Set the sFlow agent IP address to 10.10.12.1.

switch(config)# sflow agent-ip 10.10.12.1

3. Set the sFlow collector IP address to 10.10.12.2.

switch(config)# sflow collector 18.2.2.2

4. Configure sFLow sampling rate and polling interval.

switch(config)# sflow sampling 5000 switch(config)# sflow polling 20

5. Configure interface 1/1/1 with IP address 10.10.10.1/24.

switch(config)# interface 1/1/1 switch(config-if)# no shutdown switch(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.1/24 switch(config)# quit

6. Configure interface 1/1/2 with IP address 10.10.11.1/24.

switch(config)# interface 1/1/2 switch(config-if)# no shutdown switch(config-if)# ip address 10.10.11.1/24 switch(config)# quit

7. Configure interface 1/1/3 with IP address 10.10.12.1/24.

switch(config)# interface 1/1/3 switch(config-if)# no shutdown switch(config-if)# ip address 10.10.12.1/24 switch(config)# quit

8. Verify sFlow configuration
