zySflowState
Module: ZYXEL-SFLOW-MIB
OID (symbolic): ZYXEL-SFLOW-MIB::zySflowState
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.15.3.75.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: EnabledStatus
Access: read-write
Description: Enable/Disable sflow on the switch. sFlow (RFC 3176) is a standard technology for monitoring switched networks. An sFlow agent embedded on a switch or router gets sample data and packet statistics from traffic forwarded through its ports. The sFlow agent then creates sFlow data and sends it to an sFlow collector. The sFlow collector is a server that collects and analyzes sFlow datagram. An sFlow datagram includes packet header, input and output interface, sampling process parameters and forwarding information. sFlow minimizes impact on CPU load of the switch as it analyzes sample data only. sFlow can continuously monitor network traffic and create reports for network performance analysis and troubleshooting. For example, you can use it to know which IP address or which type of traffic caused network congestion.
What is zySflowState?
This read-write value enables or disables sFlow (RFC 3176) network traffic monitoring on the switch, which samples packet data and statistics from ports and sends it as sFlow datagrams to a collector server for analysis. Admins enable it to get continuous, low-overhead visibility into traffic patterns for performance analysis and troubleshooting, since sFlow samples traffic rather than mirroring it fully. An admin investigating repeated network congestion would enable this to identify which IP address or traffic type is causing it, without adding significant CPU load to the switch.
