This command adds collectors that the switch attempts to connect to for the purpose of forwarding status reports. The collector is identified by its hostname or IP address.
This command also configures the initial value of the TCP port that the collector is listening to, the VR name and source IP address that the switch uses to attempt to connect to the collector, and the SSL mode whether the switch needs to turn SSL on or off when it connects to the collector.
| hostname | Host name of the collector. |
| ip_address | IPv4 address of the collector. |
| tcp-port | TCP port number that the collector is listening. |
| port | Port number. The range is 1-65535. |
| vr vr_name | Specifies the Virtual router and virtual router name. The default name is VR-Mgmt. |

This command adds collectors that the switch attempts to connect to for the purpose of forwarding status reports. The collector is identified by its hostname or IP address. Each added collector needs to have a unique hostname or IP address. If the specified hostname or IP address has already existed, an error message ‘ERROR: The collector 1.1.1.1 already exists‘ is displayed. Other commands use hostname or IP address to specify the collector that the command reconfigures, deletes, runs reports for, or shows configuration and status.
This command also configures the initial value of the TCP port that the collector is listening to, the VR name and source IP address that the switch uses to connect to the collector, and the SSL mode that determines if the switch needs to turn SSL on/off when connecting to the collector. The purpose of having a default collector configured is to minimize the configuration required for a customer to enable techSupport.
The following command :
disable tech-support collector
