ACE and netflow

t814687 · ‎04-23-2008

Hi, we are in the process of re designing our datacenter lan and we plan to introduce ACE to perform loadbalancing and routing function between the layers (currently we use MSFCs in our 6500s). Currently we use NAM to harvest the netflow data from MSFCs. Looks like at this point ACE does not support NDE and we are going to loose this datasource in case we replace routing function with ACE? What options do we have here?

I would personally not recommend to replace the MSFC with ACE completely.

I'll keep as much as possible on the MSFC and only have loadbalanced traffic go through the ACE.
