Configuring IPFIX collectors

IPFIX collectors are used to collect and analyze data exported from an IPFIX-compliant switch. In Software Release 5.0, the only external collector supported is NetQOS. At this time, up to two collectors can be supported.

IPFIX data is exported from the switch in Netflow version 9 format. Data is exported using UDP port 9995.

IPFIX data is not load balanced when two collectors are in use. Identical information is sent to both collectors.

Use the following procedure to configure an IPFIX collector.
