Netflow support

Netflow support

Netflow is a networking feature, introduced by Cisco, to collect and export information about traffic flow through routers.

To enable and configure NetFlow traffic - CLI:

config system netflow

set collector-ip <collector IP>

set collector-port <NetFlow collector port>

set csource-ip <Source IP for NetFlow agent>

set cactive-flow-timeout <time in minutes of timeout to report active flows>

set cinactive-flow-timeout <time in seconds of timeout for periodic report of finished flows>

end

You can also configure these settings per VDOM, using the following CLI command:

config system vdom-netflow

You must also enable a Netflow sampler on specific interfaces.
