Title

Beginners guide to setting up NetFlow v9

Objective

How to set up Netflow v9 for the very first time.

Environment

H-Series GigaSMART Netflow

Procedure

1. Identify the GigaVUE port for sending the Netflow reports out of
    a. This port gets connected to your switch and allows you to send Netflow records to your Netflow collector.
    b. Defined as a tunnel port

example uses port 1/1/g1

2. Identify incoming traffic streams to report on
    a. Defined on the GigaVUE as network ports

example uses ports 1/2/x1 to x3

3. Define Netflow Exporterapps netflow exporter alias exp1 destination ip4addr 10.11.12.13 dscp 10 netflow-version netflow-v9 transport udp 9999 template-refresh-interval 15 ttl 64 exit
4. Define Netflow Recorderapps netflow record alias rec1 netflow-version netflow-v9 collect add ipv4 destination address collect add datalink vlan collect add ipv4 tos collect add ipv4 fragmentation id collect add ipv4 fragmentation offset collect add ipv4 source address collect add transport destination-port collect add transport source-port collect add ipv4 protocol collect add counter bytes collect add counter packets collect add timestamp sys-uptime first collect add timestamp sys-uptime last match add ipv4 destination address match add ipv4 source address match add transport destination-port match add transport source-port match add ipv4 protocol exit
5. Define Netflow Monitorapps netflow monitor alias mon1 cache timeout active 30 cache timeout inactive 60 cache timeout event transaction-end record add rec1 exit
6. Define the GigaSMART components for Netflow V9 and configure the tunnel port
Assume Gigasmart card is in slot 3
Note that in 5.5 we introduced ip interfaces, replacing the tunneling ports in previous versions

2. Identify incoming traffic streams to report on
    a. Defined on the GigaVUE as network ports

example uses ports 1/2/x1 to x3

3. Define Netflow Exporter
