Configure the IPFIX Collector
About this task
Use the following procedure to configure a collector for IPFIX. Use the ExtremeAnalytics™ solution as the collector.
You can configure IPFIX on Segmented Management Instance interfaces VLAN and CLIP. You can also use routing VLANs or loopback IPs as the exporter IP address. Configure the exporter IP address to match the Management Instance interface IP address.
