What I meant by what I posted in the FAQ is that the switch that one receives sFlow from needs to be seeing real traffic. Real traffic will end up being sampled and resulting in real sFlow FLOWSAMPLE packets. In other words, there has to be traffic for the switch to sample before sFlow could ever give any meaningful packets. You can probably get real traffic by pinging the management IP address of the switch you're playing with. Or maybe you could set up another couple of devices and ping between the two of them. If you know you have traffic on the switch and you're still not seeing FLOWSAMPLE packets, there's probably something wrong with your sflow config.
