Information About NetFlow

NetFlow identifies packet flows for both ingress and egress IP packets and provides statistics based on these packet flows. NetFlow does not require any change to either the packets themselves or to any networking device.

This section includes the following topics:

NetFlow Overview

High Availability

Virtualization Support

NetFlow Overview

NetFlow uses flows to provide statistics for accounting, network monitoring, and network planning. A flow is a unidirectional stream of packets that arrives on a source interface (or VLAN), and has the same values for the keys. A key is an identified value for a field within the packet. You create a flow using a flow record map to define the unique keys for your flow. Cisco NX-OS supports Flexible NetFlow. You can use common keys, such as source and destination IP addresses, or define your own keys. For more information on the flow record maps, see the"Flow Record Maps" section.

All key values must match for the packet to count in a given flow. A flow might gather other fields of interest, depending on the export record version that you configure. Flows are stored in the NetFlow cache.

You can export the data that NetFlow gathers for your flow by using an export map and export this data to a remote NetFlow collector. Cisco NX-OS exports a flow as part of a NetFlow export User Datagram Protocol (UDP) datagram under the following circumstances:

The flow has been inactive or active for too long.

The flow cache is getting full.

One of the counters (packets or bytes) has exceeded its maximum value.

You have forced the flow to export.

For more information on exporter maps, see the "Exporter Maps" section.

You define the size of the data that you want to collect for a flow using a monitor map. The monitor map combines the flow record map and exporter map with the NetFlow cache information. For more information on monitor maps, see the "Monitor Maps" section.

Cisco NX-OS can gather NetFlow statistics in either full or sampled mode. Cisco NX-OS analyzes all packets on the interface or subinterface for full NetFlow mode. For sampled mode, you configure the sampling algorithm and rate that Cisco NX-OS analyzes packets. For more information on sampler maps, see the "Sampler Maps" section.

Flow Record Maps

A flow record map defines the keys that NetFlow uses to identify packets in the flow as well as other fields of interest that NetFlow gathers for the flow. You can define a flow record map with any combination of keys and fields of interest. Cisco NX-OS supports a rich set of keys including layer 2 and Layer 3 parameters. A flow record also defines the types of counters gathered per flow. You can configure 32-bit or 64-bit packet or byte counters. Cisco NX-OS enables the following match fields when you create a flow record:

match interface input

match interface output

match flow direction

For more information, see the "Creating a Flow Record" section.

Exporter Maps

An exporter map contains network layer and transport layer details for the NetFlow export packet. You can configure the following information in an exporter map:

Export destination IP address

Source interface

UDP port number (where the collector is listening for NetFlow packets)

Export format


Note NetFlow export packets use the IP address that is assigned to the source interface. If the source interface does not have an IP address assigned to it, the exporter will be inactive.


Cisco NX-OS exports data to the collector whenever a timeout occurs or when the flow is terminated (TCP Fin or Rst received, for example). You can configure the following timers to force a flow export:

Active timeout—Cisco NX-OS does not remove the cache entries from the cache.

Inactive timeout—Cisco NX-OS removes the cache entries from the cache.

Export Formats

Cisco NX-OS supports the Version 9 export format for most flows. Version 9, which combines hardware-aggregated flow records and non-aggregated flow records in the same export frame, also supports the following features:

Immediate Flow Aging—Allows Cisco NX-OS to send flow records when the flow is created.Cisco NX-OS supports this feature in sampled mode to avoid performance degradation on the device.

Adaptive Flexible NetFlow—Defines how the device behaves as it runs out of system resources reserved for NetFlow.

Packet Chunk Fields—Copies part of the packet and sends it to the collector. This feature can only be used in sampled mode and can negatively impact the performance of the device.

Cisco NX-OS supports multiple Netflow export destinations— up to 2 destinations per flow monitor.


Note Cisco NX-OS supports UDP as the transport protocol for exports to up to four collectors.


You can configure IPv4 to use the Version 5 export format, but you must limit flows using this format to use the keys and fields predefined by the Version 5 export format.

Monitor Maps

A monitor map references the flow record map and flow exporter map. You apply a monitor map to an interface.

Sampler Maps

If you are using sampled mode, you use the sampler map to specify the rate at which packets are sampled. On high bandwidth interfaces, applying NetFlow processing to every single packet can result in high CPU utilization. Sampler map configuration is typically geared towards such high speed interfaces. You can configure samples in one of the following options:

M out of N—For example, 100 out of every 10,000 packets are sampled.

Time-base—For example, sample a packet every 100 milliseconds.

If you do not associate a sampler map with an interface, NetFlow gathers statistics on every packet that matches the flow keys on that interface.

High Availability

Cisco NX-OS supports stateless restarts for NetFlow. After a reboot or supervisor switchover, Cisco NX-OS applies the running configuration.

Virtualization Support

Cisco NX-OS defines NetFlow flows within a virtual device context (VDC). By default, Cisco NX-OS places you in the default VDC and any flows that you define in this mode are only available for interfaces in the default VDC. See the Cisco NX-OS Virtual Device Context Configuration Guide at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/4_0/nx-os/virtual_device_context/configuration/guide/vdc_nx-os_book.html

Licensing Requirements for NetFlow

The following table shows the licensing requirements for this feature:

Product
License Requirement

NX-OS

NetFlow requires no license. Any feature not included in a license package is bundled with the Cisco NX-OS system images and is provided at no extra charge to you. For a complete explanation of the NX-OS licensing scheme, see the Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/4_0/nx-os/licensing/configuration/guide/nx-os_licensing.html.


Prerequisites for NetFlow

NetFlow has the following prerequisites:

You must understand the resources required on your device because NetFlow consumes additional memory and CPU resources.

If you configure VDCs, install the Advanced Services license and enter the desired VDC (see to the Cisco NX-OS Virtual Device Context Configuration Guide at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/4_0/nx-os/virtual_device_context/configuration/guide/vdc_nx-os_book.html).

Configuration Guidelines and Limitations

NetFlow has the following configuration guidelines and limitations:

You must configure a source interface. If you do not configure a source interface, the exporter will remain in a disabled state.

You can configure a maximum of 2 export destinations per flow monitor.

You must configure a valid record map name for every flow monitor map.

In Cisco NX-OS, NetFlow map configuration takes place in map-specific submodes.

Use the global configuration mode to create a flow record map and enter the flow record submode:

switch(config)# flow record Test
switch(config-flow-record)# 

Use the global configuration mode to create a flow exporter map and enter the flow exporter submode:

switch(config)# flow exporter ExportTest
switch(config-flow-exporter)# 

From the flow exporter submode, you can specify the exporter version. If you specify version 9, you enter the flow exporter version submode:

switch(config)-flow-exporter# version 9
switch(config-flow-exporter-version-9)# 


Use the global configuration mode to create a flow monitor map and enter the flow monitor submode:

switch(config)# flow monitor MonitorTest
switch(config-flow-monitor)# 


Tip From a submode, you can type ? to get a list of all commands available in the submode.


Configuring NetFlow

To configure NetFlow, follow these steps:


Step 1 Enable the Netflow feature (see the "Enabling the NetFlow Feature" section).

Step 2 Define a flow record by specifying keys and fields to the flow (see the "Creating a Flow Record" section).
