DESCRIPTION

Collector

 

Enter the IP address of the sFlow collector.

Address

 

 

 

 

Note: You must have the sFlow collector already configured in the sFlow > Collector screen.

 

 

The sFlow collector does not need to be in the same subnet as the Switch, but it must

 

 

be accessible from the Switch.

 

 

Note: Configure UDP port 6343 (the default) on a NAT router to allow port forwarding if the

 

 

collector is behind a NAT router. Configure a firewall rule for UDP port 6343 (the

 

 

default) to allow incoming traffic if the collector is behind a firewall.

 

 

 

Apply

 

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these

 

 

changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to

 

 

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

 

 

 

Cancel

 

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
