Catalyst 6500 SXI - Netflow Data Export to VRF Interface

d.haeni · ‎12-16-2009

I would like to configure the following, but the "vrf" option is not available for me:

ip flow-export destination 10.10.10.10 9996 vrf NetMgmt

The Cat 6500 Config Guide leads me to believe there is support on the Cat6500:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/configuration/guide/nde.html#wp1140713

However, the Netflow Config Guide only states Support for IOS 12.4(4)T and later and the Feature Navigator only shows the 7600s platform supporting "NDE for VRF Interfaces"

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/netflow/command/reference/nf_01.html#wp1049093

Does anyone know hard facts? Is NDE for VRF Interfaces on the roadmap at all.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

Hello D.haeni,

your findings look like correct and match with what has been found in another thread some time ago.

Looking at netflow command reference notes:

12.2(14)SX

This command was introduced on the Supervisor Engine 720. The vrf keyword is not supported.

and:

12.2(33)SRA

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

with the last that is a C7600 IOS image.

I don't know when the export in VRF will be introduced in 12.2SXI releases.

I would suggest to open a service request to ask for this or to contact your Cisco representive

Hope to help

Giuseppe
