Specifying an sFlow Collector

Use this procedure to specify the IP addresses and the UDP ports of the sFlow collectors on your network. The packet sampling data and the packet counters are sent by the switch to the collectors specified. You can specify up to four collectors, but you can add only one address at a time with this procedure.

To select the Collect tab from the Sflow page, do the following:

1.Select the Discovery & Monitoring tab.

The Discovery & Monitoring tab is displayed. See Figure 89 on page 242.

2.From the Discovery & Monitoring tab, select sFlow.

The Sflow page is displayed with the Port Configurations tab selected. See Figure 89 on page 242.

3.From the sFlow page, select the Collectors tab.

The Sflow page is displayed with the Collectors Tab selected. See Figure 91.
