netflow agent
Use this command to configure the Netflow agent. Netflow is a Cisco-
developed system for monitoring network IP traffic from devices that are
enabled with the Netflow protocol. This feature is disabled by default. Note
that Pmon performs a similar function for all traffic. See PMON commands
on page 81 for more information. The BSGX4e uses Netflow on incoming
traffic only. The systems consists of an exporter and a collector. The
exporter runs on the BSGX4e while the collector is an external server than
can be on the WAN or LAN. The BSGX4e supports Netflow versions 1, 5,
and 9. Version 9 outputs a template-based flow record that provides
extensibility and is the basis for developing the IETF standard.
Note: The exporter and the collector must be running the same version.
