Netflow on CatOS

tmalavetas · ‎04-10-2007

Hi,

I have a few 6509's with SUP1a's and I was wondering if running NetFlow on them will create a lot of extra load on them. This is what we have in slot1:

WS-X6K-SUP1A-2GE Hw : 7.0

Fw : 0.0

Fw1: 5.4(2)

Sw : 7.6(5)

Sw1: 7.6(5)

WS-F6K-PFC Hw : 1.1

Sw :

S-X6K-SUP1A-2GE Hw : 7.0

and this is the memory in them;

DRAM FLASH NVRAM

Module Total Used Free Total Used Free Total Used Free

------ ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ----- ----- -----

1 65408K 53881K 11527K 16384K 15532K 852K 512K 379K 133K

Regards

Theo,

Netflow tables will be maintained in the PFC and the configuration will be doen on MSFC. As this will be a hardware switched, I think there should not be a significant performace load. Please see the link below for more info on the same.
