Configure Netflow For Cisco Router Switch IOS - Example


What we will get benefit when we enable netflow feature are real-time monitoring of host behaviors and traffic analysis to identify threats, extensive network performance reports including top talkers, interface utilization, exporter tracking, etc. I have screenshot for your carification.
NetFlow Collection on Cisco IOS
Below is how to set up step by step on Cisco router or Cisco switch;
  • Enabling NetFlow
    Enter global configuration mode on Cisco router or Cisco switch, and issue the following commands for each interface on which you want to enable NetFlow:
         #interface {interface} {interface_number}
         #ip route-cache flow
  • Enabling the exports of these flows
    Enter global configuration mode on Cisco router or Cisco switch, and issue the following commands by use the IP address of your NetFlow Collector and configured listening port. UDP port 9995 is used for example.
         # ip flow-export version 5
         # ip flow-export destination <ip_address> 9995
         # ip flow-export source Loopback0
  • Turning off NetFlow
    Issue the following commands in global configuration mode to stop exporting NetFlow data:
         #interface {interface} {interface_number}
         #no ip route-cache flow
    This will disable NetFlow export on the specified interface. Repeat the commands for each interface on which you need to disable NetFlow.
  • Diagnosis
    In enable mode you can see current NetFlow configuration and state by looking at the output from
         #sh ip flow export Shows the current NetFlow configuration
         #show ip cache flow and sh ip cache verbose flow These commands summarize the active flows and give an indication of how much NetFlow data the device is exporting

    Note: When access lists are used, all cisco routers or cisco switch must log failed network access attempts.

Wow!
I am really impressed by the way you detailed out everything. Cisco IOS (originally Internetwork Operating System) is software used on most Cisco Systems routers and current Cisco network switches.

Great help! Actually, I'm in a process of gathering information regarding routers or switches. I placed order for Cisco switches. This is the first time I will be using it for my business needs.

Nice blog, Cisco is the most reputed company producing networking devices like switches and switches. One of the latest innovations of Cisco Company is the Cisco catalyst 2960-X series switches.
