NetFlow on Catalyst 4500-E Series

Anyone know if a Supervisor 6-E will support NetFlow on a Catalyst 4507R-E?

If not, what are my options for NetFlow on a 4507R-E?

...Supervisor Engine 6-E and Catalyst 4900M chassis does not support Netflow.

...To use the NetFlow feature, you must have the Supervisor Engine V-10GE (the functionality is embedded in the supervisor engine), or the NetFlow Services Card (WS-F4531) and either a Supervisor Engine IV or a Supervisor Engine V.

That's what I was afraid of.

I'm guessing my only options to have both 10 Gbps link capabilities AND NetFlow are to move to the Catalyst 6500 series then.

you dont have to move to 10GB sup engine to support netflow. As suggest you can buy daughter card netflow expasion module WS-F4531 for your Supervisor Engine 6-E instead. this option is cheaper.

I was under the impression that the WS-F4531 only was able to be used with either the Sup-IV or else the Sup-V engines?

My ultimate goal would be to support 10 Gbps flows with a 4500-E series chassis while also having NetFlow. However, it's seeming that it's not possible and that they are mutually exclusive on the 4500-E series chassis.

sorry yes you are right! While i was writing my suggestion it skipped my mind you are not using Sup-IV/ Sup-V engines

Good Morning.

I have a switche Cisco Catayst 4507R+E and two Sup 7-E 10GE (SFP+), 1000BaseX (SFP), and i couldn´t configured the Net Flow, i was reading cisco forums, but in couldn´t find information important... somebody can help me?

I can´t activate the enable command #ip flow-cache, for activate in the interfaces.

thanks.

Hi,

Cisc SUP 7-E supports Flexible NetFlow export. Can you try configuring as below and check. Remember to use IP Address as per your network.

flow exporter NFAexporter

    destination 192.168.1.1

    output-features

    transport udp 9996

flow record NFArecord

    match ipv4 source address

    match ipv4 destination address

    match transport source-port

    match transport destination-port

    match interface input

    match ipv4 protocol

    match ipv4 tos

    match ipv4 dscp

    collect routing source as

    collect routing destination as

    collect routing next-hop address ipv4

    collect transport tcp flags

    collect counter bytes

    collect counter packets

    collect timestamp sys-uptime first

    collect timestamp sys-uptime last

    collect interface output

    collect flow direction

    collect ipv4 id

    collect ipv4 source mask

    collect ipv4 destination mask

flow monitor NFAmonitor

    record NFArecord

    exporter NFAexporter

    cache timeout active 1

    cache timeout inactive 15

Associate the monitor to the interfaces - Apply on all interfaces of the switch

interface GigabitEthernet 0/1

     ip flow monitor NFAmonitor layer2-switched input   - Will capture both switched and bridged traffic
