configure sflow ports <portlist> sample-rate <number>
All ports on the switch or the same I/O module are sampled individually. 
Maximum CPU Sample Limit
A high number of samples can cause a heavy load on the switch CPU. To limit the load, there 
is a CPU throttling mechanism to protect the switch. 
On a modular switch, whenever the limit is reached, the sample rate value is doubled on the 
slot from which the maximum number of samples are received. For ports on that slot that are 
sampled less frequently, the sampling rate is not changed; the sub-sampling factor is 
adjusted downward. 
On a stand-alone switch, whenever the limit is reached, the sample rate value is doubled on 
the ports from which the maximum number of samples are received. For ports that are 
sampled less frequently, the sampling rate is not changed; the sub-sampling factor is 
adjusted downward. 
To configure the maximum CPU sample limit, use the following command:
configure sflow max-cpu-sample-limit <rate>
Unconfiguring sFlow
To reset the configured values for sFlow to their default values and remove from sFlow any 
configured collectors and ports, use the following command:
unconfigure sflow
sFlow Configuration Example
In a service provider environment, you can configure sFlow to sample packets at the edge of 
the network to determine the hourly usage for each IP address in the data center. You can 
capture Web traffic, FTP traffic, mail traffic, and all bits of data that travel across service 
providers’ edge routers to their customers’ (end users’) servers. 
The example in this section assumes that you already have an sFlow data collector installed 
somewhere in your network. In many environments, the sFlow data collector is on a network 
PC.
The following sFlow configuration example for a service provider environment:
•     
Configures the IP address of the sFlow data collector.
Note:  
In many environments, the sFlow data collector is not directly 
connected to the switch. Make sure to specify the VR used to 
forward traffic between the sFlow collector and the switch. In most 
cases the VR is VR-Mgmt.
