NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual Syntax Description rate Specifies the maximum sFlow samples per second. Default The default value is 2000 samples per second. Usage Guidelines This command configures the maximum number of samples sent to the CPU per second. If this rate is exceeded, the internal sFlow CPU throttling mechanism kicks in to limit the load on the CPU. Every time the limit is reached, the sample rate is halved (the value of number in the configure sflow sample-rate or configure sflow ports sample-rate command is doubled) on the slot (modular switch) or ports (stand-alone switch) on which maximum number of packets were received during the last snapshot. This effectively halves the sampling frequency of all the ports on that slot or stand-alone switch with a sub-sampling factor of 1. The sampling frequency of ports on that slot or stand-alone switch with a sub-sampling factor greater than 1 will not change; the sub-sampling factor is also halved so the that the same rate of samples are sent from that port. The maximum CPU sample rate is based on the total number of samples received from all the sources. The valid range is 100 to 5000 samples per second. Example The following command specifies that the sFlow maximum CPU sample rate should be set to 4000 samples per second: configure sflow max-cpu-sample-limit 4000 configure sflow poll-interval configure sflow poll-interval Description Configures the sFlow counter polling interval. Syntax Description seconds Specifies the number of seconds between polling each counter. The value can range from 0 to 3600 seconds. 356 | Chapter 8. Commands for Status Monitoring and Statistics
