At zero, all the Receiver parameters are set to default values.
Max Datagram Size Enter the maximum size of a sFlow datagram (in bytes), which the Receiver can receive, in
the Max Datagram Size box. By default, the maximum datagram size is set to 1400
bytes. It can range from 200 to 1400 bytes.
Address Type The address type supported by sFlow Receiver is ipv4, which is by default selected.
