Chapter 50 Configuring NetFlow
Default NetFlow Configuration
Note the following specific feature conflicts:
• CBAC requires the full flow mask, and is given priority over other flow-based features. If a flow
mask conflict occurs, the other flow-based features are processed in the MSFC.
• In general, NDE is flexible because you configure the minimum flow mask. If you have configured
other flow-based features, Feature Manager software may set a more specific flow mask to meet all
the feature requirements.
• Sampled NetFlow requires the dest-source-interface flow mask (PFC2) or full-interface flow mask
(PFC2 and PFC3). This may cause conflict with other flow-based features on the same interface.
• NDE conflicts with QoS. NDE and QoS microflow policing cannot be configured on the same
interface.
• If NAT is configured on a Layer 3 interface with any feature that uses dynamic ACEs (for example,
Web Proxy Authentication or NAC Layer 3 IP validation), trailing fragments may not be NAT
translated correctly if NAT is configured for overload. For systems equipped with a PFC3B or
PFC3BXL, you can use the mls ip nat netflow-frag-l4-zero command to ensure that NAT functions
correctly in this case.
Default NetFlow Configuration
Table 50-2 shows the default NetFlow configuration.
NetFlow Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions
When configuring NetFlow, follow these guidelines and restrictions:
• With PFC2 and above, the CEF table (and not the NetFlow table) implements Layer 3 switching in
hardware.
• In PFC3B or PFC3BXL mode with Release 12.2(18)SXE and later releases, NetFlow supports
bridged IP traffic. PFC3A mode does not support NetFlow bridged IP traffic.
• In Release 12.2(18)SXF and later releases, NetFlow supports multicast IP traffic.
• No statistics are available for flows that are switched when the NetFlow table is full.
• If the NetFlow table utilization exceeds the recommended utilization levels, there is an increased
probability that there will be insufficient room to store statistics. Table 50-3 lists the recommended
maximum utilization levels.
