Parameter Description

• Receiver ID: The “Receiver ID“ input fields allow the user to select the receiver ID. Indicates the ID of this particular sFlow

Receiver. Currently one ID is supported as one collector is supported.

• IP Type: A dropdown list to select the type of IP of Collector is displayed. By default, IPv4 is the Collector IP type. Works using

IPv4 or IPv6.

• IP Address: The address of a reachable IP is to be entered into the text box.

This IP is used to monitor the sFlow samples sent by sFlow Agent (our switch).

By default, The IP is set to 0.0.0.0, and a new entry has to be added to it.

• Port: A port to listen to the sFlow Agent has to be configured for the Collector. The value of the port number has to be typed

into the text box. The value accepted is within the range of 1–65535. But an appropriate port number not used by other
protocols need to be configured. By default, the port's number is 6343.
