Here are the command I've used to configure the network foundry switch:
sflow enable
sflow agent-ip 172.16.2.251
sflow polling-interval 60
sflow destination 172.16.1.215
sflow forwarding # on each interface

> A good place to start is to just monitor the interface you should be
> seeing the sFlow packets come in on and make sure you see the sFlow
> packets themselves come in. If not, I can probably help with your
> Foundry config.
