Netgear M4300-28G (GSM4328S) - Stackable Managed Switch with 24x1G and 4x10G including 2x10GBASE-T and 2xSFP+ Layer 3 Software Guide

Use this command to configure a receiver as a non-timeout entry. Unlike entries configured 
with a specific timeout value, this command will be shown in show running-config and 
retained after reboot. As the sFlow receiver is configured as a non-timeout entry, information 
related to sampler and pollers will also be shown in the running-config and will be retained 
after reboot.

If a receiver is configured with a specific value, these configurations are not shown in the 
running-config

 file. Samplers and pollers information related to this receiver are also not 

shown in the running-config file.

A data source configured to collect flow samples is called a poller. Use this command to 

configure a new sFlow sampler instance on an interface or range of interfaces for this data 
source if rcvr_indx is valid.

entry is unclaimed before trying to claim it. The entry is claimed by setting the owner string to a 
non-null value. The entry must be claimed before assigning a receiver to a sampler or poller.
