save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.

Use this row to make the setting the same for all ports. Use this row first and then make

 

adjustments on a port-by-port basis.

 

Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you make them.

 

 

Active

Select this to allow the Switch to monitor traffic on this port and generate and send sFlow

 

datagram to the specified collector.

sFlow datagram and packet counters for this port to the collector.
