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.
Port
This field displays the port number.
*
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.
Active
Select this to allow the Switch to monitor traffic on this port and generate and send sFlow
datagram to the specified collector.

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.
