# Configuring IPFIX collectors

IPFIX collectors are used to collect and analyze data exported from an IPFIX-compliant switch. Up to two collectors can be supported.

The switch exports IPFIX data in Netflow version 9 format 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 procedures to configure an IPFIX collector.
