Tasks at a glance

Perform at least one of the following tasks:

Configuring flow sampling

Configuring counter sampling

Configuring the sFlow agent and sFlow collector

information

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

(Optional.)
Configure an IP

address for the
sFlow agent.

sflow agent { ip ip-address |
ipv6 ipv6-address }

By default, no IP address is configured for the
sFlow agent. The device periodically checks
whether the sFlow agent has an IP address. If not,

the device automatically selects an IPv4 address

for the sFlow agent but does not save the IPv4
address in the configuration file.

NOTE:

H3C recommends that you manually configure

an IP address for the sFlow agent.

Only one IP address can be configured for the

sFlow agent on the device, and a newly

configured IP address overwrites the existing
one.

3.

Configure the

sFlow collector
information.

sflow collector collector-id
[ vpn-instance

vpn-instance-name ] { ip

ip-address | ipv6
ipv6-address
} [ port

port-number | datagram-size

size | time-out seconds |
description text ] *

By default, no sFlow collector information is
configured.

4.

(Optional.) Specify

the source IP
address of sFlow

packets.

sflow source { ip ip-address |
ipv6 ipv6-address } *

By default, the source IP address is determined by
routing.

Configuring flow sampling

Perform this task to configure flow sampling on an Ethernet interface. The sFlow agent samples packets
on that interface according to the configured parameters, encapsulates them into sFlow packets, and

sends them in UDP packets to the specified sFlow collector.
To configure flow sampling:
