31.2.1 sFlow Collector Configuration
Click the Collector link in the sFlow screen to display the screen as shown. You can configure up
to four sFlow collectors in this screen. You may want to configure more than one collector if the
traffic load to be monitored is more than one collector can manage.
Figure 149
Advanced Application > sFlow > Collector
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Collector
Address Enter the IP address of the sFlow collector.
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.
