the port here, make sure you change it on the collector, too. The default port is 6343.
Add Click Add 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.

DESCRIPTION
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.
