# Configuring IPFIX flows

After you enable IPFIX on a switch, you must configure the ports IPFIX monitors. Use the following procedure to configure IPFIX flows.

   The Exporters tab lists the IPFIX exporters that are currently available. If connected to a stand-alone unit, the export properties of that unit are listed. If connected to a stack, the export properties of all units in the stack are listed.

4. In the table, in the port row, double-click the cell under the column heading for the parameter you want to change.

5. Select a parameter or value from the drop-down list.
