Enabling sFlow Max-Header Size Extended

To configure the maximum header size of a packet to 256 bytes, use the following commands:

  • Set the maximum header size of a packet.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    INTERFACE mode
    sflow max-header-size extended
    By default, the maximum header size of a packet is 128 bytes. When sflow max-header-size extended is enabled, 256 bytes are copied. These bytes are useful for VxLAN, NvGRE, IPv4, and IPv6 tunneled packets.
    NOTE Interface mode configuration takes priority.
  • To reset the maximum header size of a packet, use the following command
    [no] sflow max-header-size extended
  • View the maximum header size of a packet.
    show running-config sflow

Example of the show sflow command when the sflow max-header-size extended is configured globally

DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/10)#show sflow
sFlow services are enabled
Egress Management Interface sFlow services are disabled
Global default sampling rate: 32768
Global default counter polling interval: 86400
Global default extended maximum header size: 256 bytes
Global extended information enabled: none
1 collectors configured
Collector IP addr: 100.1.1.12, Agent IP addr: 100.1.1.1, UDP port: 6343 VRF: Default
0 UDP packets exported
0 UDP packets dropped
0 sFlow samples collected

Example of viewing the sflow max-header-size extended on an Interface Mode

DellEMC#show sflow interface tengigabitethernet 1/1
Te 1/1
sFlow type                       :Ingress
Configured sampling rate         :16384
Actual sampling rate             :16384
Counter polling interval         :20
Extended max header size         :256
Samples rcvd from h/w            :0

Example of the show running-config sflow Command

DellEMC#show running-config sflow
!
sflow collector 100.1.1.12 agent-addr 100.1.1.1
sflow enable
sflow max-header-size extended


DellEMC#show run int tengigabitEthernet 1/10
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/10
no ip address
switchport
sflow ingress-enable
sflow max-header-size extended
no shutdown
