sFlow Sampler Settings
This window will allow users to configure the Switch’s settings for taking sample packets from the network, including the
sampling rate and the amount of the packet header to be extracted.

The following fields are displayed:
Parameter Description
Port
Displays the port from which packet samples are being extracted.
Analyzer Server ID
Displays the ID of the Analyzer Server where datagrams, containing the packet sampling
information taken using this sampling mechanism, will be sent.
Configured RX
Rate
Displays the configured rate of packet sampling for this port based on a multiple of 256. For
example, if a figure of 20 is in this field, the switch will sample one out of every 5120 packets
(20 x 256 = 5120) that pass through the individual port.
Configured TX Rate
Displays the configured rate of packet sampling for this port based on a multiple of 256. For
example, if a figure of 20 is in this field, the switch will sample one out of every 5120 packets
(20 x 256 = 5120) that pass through the individual port.
Active RX Rate
Displays the current rate op packet sampling being performed by the Switch for this port,
based on a multiple of 256. For example, if a figure of 20 is in this field, the switch will sample
one out of every 5120 packets (20 x 256 = 5120) that pass through the individual port.
Active TX Rate
Displays the current rate op packet sampling being performed by the Switch for this port,
based on a multiple of 256. For example, if a figure of 20 is in this field, the switch will sample
one out of every 5120 packets (20 x 256 = 5120) that pass through the individual port.
Max Header Size
Displays the number of leading bytes of the sampled packet header. This sampled header will
be encapsulated with the datagram to be forwarded to the Analyzer Server.
