Description

Use this command to change the current global default sampling rate.

Usage

Guidelines

Sample-rate is the average number of packets skipped before the sample is taken. sFlow does not
have time-based sampling. If the value entered is not a correct power of 2, the command generates
an error message with the previous and next power-of-2 value. Select one of these two packet
numbers and re-enter the command.

Use the no sflow sample-rate command to return to the default sampling rate.

Examples

To change the sampling rate to 4096:

switch(config)#sFlow sample-rate 4096
