You can now enable sFlow forwarding on individual ports as described in the next two sections.

Syntax: [no] sflow enable

Enabling sFlow forwarding on individual interfaces

To enable sFlow forwarding enter commands such as the following.

device(config)#sflow enable

device(config)#interface ethernet 1/1 to 1/8

device(config-mif-1/1-1/8)#sflow forwarding

These commands globally enable sFlow, then enable sFlow forwarding on Ethernet ports 1/1 - 1/8. You
must use both the sflow enable and sflow forwarding commands to enable the feature.

Syntax: [no] sflow enable

Syntax: [no] sflow forwarding

Enabling sFlow forwarding on individual trunk ports

This feature is supported on individual ports of a static trunk group. It is also supported on LACP trunk
ports.

NOTE
When you enable sFlow forwarding on a trunk port, only the primary port of the trunk group forwards
sFlow samples.

To enable sFlow forwarding on a trunk port, enter commands such as the following.

device(config)#sflow enable

device(config)#trunk e 4/1 to 4/8

device(config-trunk-4/1-4/8)#config-trunk-ind

device(config-trunk-4/1-4/8)#sflow forwarding e 4/2

These commands globally enable sFlow, then enable sFlow forwarding on trunk port e 4/2. You must
use both the sflow enable and sflow forwarding commands to enable the feature.

Syntax: [no] sflow enable

Syntax: [no] sflow forwarding

sFlow version 5 feature configuration

NOTE
The commands in this section are supported when sFlow version 5 is enabled on the device. These
commands are not supported with sFlow version 2. sFlow version 5 also supports all of the sFlow
configuration commands in

Configuring and enabling sFlow

on page 247.

When sFlow version 5 is enabled on the device, you can do the following:

• Specify the sFlow version (version 2 or version 5)
• Specify the sFlow agent IP address
• Specify the maximum flow sample size
• Export CPU and memory usage Information to the sFlow collector
• Specify the polling interval for exporting CPU and memory usage information to the sFlow collector
• Export CPU-directed data (management traffic) to the sFlow collector
