Parameter Description

To set the destination address and port (UDP) of the device that will receive netflow records

To control how often netflow records are exported ip flow-export timeout active

active <duration_min> - How often to export active flow information.
To control refresh settings for export of options ip flow-export options {refresh-rate|timeout-rate|usernames}
  • refresh-rate <packet_count> - Sets the maximum number of packets allowed between options export.
  • timeout-rate <duration_sec> - Sets the maximum number of seconds between options export.
  • usernames expiry-rate <duration_hours> - Set the maximum number of hours to remember inactive usernames.
  • usernames timeout-rate <duration_min> - Set the maximum number of minutes between export of username options.
To control refresh settings for export of templates ip flow-export template {refresh-rate|timeout-rate}
  • refresh-rate <packet_count> - Set the maximum number of packets before template export.

You can also use netflow to configure which information is exported over the system by using the following command:

[no] ip flow-export export {application|aps|bytes-long|direction|extra-info|interfaces|lost-bytes|network-delay|network-jitter|output-counts|packets-long|packets-size|payload-size|policy|rtt|server-delay|tos|traffic-class|ttl|usernames|vlan|voip}

The list below briefly describes the information that is exported through the netflow command mentioned above:

  • application - Export application identification information.
  • aps - Export the Application Performance Score (APS).
  • bytes-long - Export byte counters as 64bit values instead of 32bit.

  • extra-info - Export extra information details (e.g. hostnames, codec names).
  • interfaces - Export SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) input and output interfaces.
  • lost-bytes - Export lost bytes count.
  • network-delay - Export network delay.
  • network-jitter - Export network jitter.
  • output-counts - Export output packet and byte counts.
  • packets-long - Export packet counters as 64bit values instead of 32bit values.
  • packets-size - Export minimum and maximum packet sizes.
  • payload-size - Set maximum netflow packet payload size.
  • policy - Export policy identification information.
  • rtt - Export round trip time (RTT).
  • server-delay - Export server delay.
  • tos - Export minimum and maximum TOS.
  • traffic-class - Export traffic class id.
  • ttl - Export minimum and maximum TTL.
  • usernames - Export username details (see Active Directory and Static Users).
