Chapter 3 Getting Started
Configuring Traffic Sources for Capturing NAM Traffic
Using NetFlow Data Export as a Traffic Source
To use NetFlow Data Export (NDE) as a traffic source for the NAM, you must enable the NetFlow
Monitor option to allow the NAM to receive the NDE stream. For a local switch, the statistics are
presented on reserved ifIndex.3000 as in previous NAM releases. The remote switch uses ifIndex.50000
and greater.
Note You need to configure the Multilayer Switch Function Card (MSFC) to use NetFlow. For more
information, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide.
Note There are no CLI commands for creating NetFlow custom data sources. To create a NetFlow custom data
source, you must use the NAM Traffic Analyzer GUI.
NDE Configuration
To enable the NetFlow Monitor for the Catalyst operating system, perform this task:
Task Command
Step 1
Select the NDE version.
Note The NAM supports NDE versions 1,
5, 6, 7, 8, and version 8 aggregation
caches. Refer to the Cisco IOS
documentation for NDE versions
supported by the switch software to
determine which NDE versions are
available to the NAM.
set mls nde version nde-version-number
Step 2
Set the NDE flow mask to full.
Note Although the NAM supports NDE
aggregation, the information you
receive for a specified aggregation
type is limited to that aggregation
and other NDE details are not
available. To receive more
information about your NDE
configuration, use the full flow
mode.
set mls flow full
Step 3
Direct NDE packets to the NAM. set snmp extendedrmon netflow [enable | disable] mod
set mls nde NAM-address 3000
Step 4
Enable NDE export. set mls nde enable
