sflow agent (address)
This command sets the sFlow® agent IP address on the switch. This address is inserted into
every sFlow datagram sent from the sFlow agent switch to the sFlow collector device. The
sFlow collector can then uses this address to uniquely identify and to access the switch,
such as for SNMP. We therefore recommend that you change this address as little as
possible.
Although the agent address can be set to any valid IPv4 or IPv6 address; we recommended
that you set the sFlow® agent IP address to be the local address
1
that is configured on the
switch. This ensures that the sFlow collector can maintain connectivity to the switch
irrespective of the addition or deletion of VLAN interfaces (each of which will have its own
specific IP address). Note that sFlow is rendered inactive whenever the agent address is
not set.
The no variant of this command applies its default setting to remove a configured address.
Syntax
