29.2.1 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.

DESCRIPTION
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.
Select this to allow the Switch to monitor traffic on this port and generate and send sFlow
datagram to the specified collector.
Enter a number (N) from 256 to 65535. The Switch captures every one out of N packets for this
port and creates sFlow datagram.
Specify a time interval (from 20 to 120 in seconds) the Switch waits before sending the sFlow
datagram and packet counters for this port to the collector.
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.
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.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
