Netflow for Dell switch
what is the best practice for enabling netflow/sflow on Dell switch?
do i enable at the core or access layer switch ?
will it have any performance impact if i enable at all the access layer switch like S3148/N3224T switches ?

Hello,
can you try to do the second command in interface mode?
Here the manual for the command pag 2238
Dell EMC Networking N-Series Switches CLI Reference Guide version 6.7.0

Hi,
I'm not sure if the error comes from unfinished definition of the destination, let's try using the guide:
console(config)#sflow 1 destination owner 1 timeout 2000
console(config)#sflow 1 destination maxdatagram 500
console(config)#sflow 1 destination 172.16.xx.xxx 560After this,
console(config)#sflow 1 polling gigabitethernet 1/0/1 200 (try inserting poll-interval as previous config you did not)

What do you mean? Can you explain to me what you want to achieve with opmanager? And with this configuration?

I beleive after enabling sFlow on the switch, you can set up OpManager to collect and analyze the sFlow data. I don't have much information about OpManager so please refer to the OpManager documentation.
