Description: Identifies the source of the data for the sFlow sampler. The following data source types are currently defined: - ifIndex. DataSources of this traditional form are called 'port-based'. Ideally the sampling entity will perform sampling on all flows originating from or destined to the specified interface. However, if the switch architecture only permits input or output sampling then the sampling agent is permitted to only sample input flows input or output flows. Each packet must only be considered once for sampling, irrespective of the number of ports it will be forwarded to. Note: Port 0 is used to indicate that all ports on the device are represented by a single data source. - sFlowPacketSamplingRate applies to all ports on the device capable of packet sampling. - sFlowCounterSamplingInterval applies to all ports. - smonVlanDataSource. A dataSource of this form refers to a 'Packet-based VLAN' and is called a 'VLAN-based' dataSource. is the VLAN ID as defined by the IEEE 802.1Q standard. The value is between 1 and 4094 inclusive, and it represents an 802.1Q VLAN-ID with global scope within a given bridged domain. Sampling is performed on all packets received that are part of the specified VLAN (no matter which port they arrived on). Each packet will only be considered once for sampling, irrespective of the number of ports it will be forwarded to. - entPhysicalEntry. A dataSource of this form refers to a physical entity within the agent (e.g., entPhysicalClass = backplane(4)) and is called an 'entity-based' dataSource. Sampling is performed on all packets entering the resource (e.g. If the backplane is being sampled, all packets transmitted onto the backplane will be considered as single candidates for sampling irrespective of the number of ports they ultimately reach). Note: Since each DataSource operates independently, a packet that crosses multiple DataSources may generate multiple flow records.
