Overview of Netflow

NetFlow is a Cisco IOS technology that provides statistics on packets flowing through the router. NetFlow is the standard for acquiring IP operational data from IP networks. NetFlow provides data to enable network and security monitoring, network planning, traffic analysis, and IP accounting.

The following features are supported for Netflow:

  • Netflow—IPv4 and IPv6 unicast flows

  • Netflow Export over IPv4 and IPv6 addresses

  • ISSU and SSO

For information on understanding and configuring Netflow, see Flexible NetFlow Configuration Guide.

Feature Description

Ingress and Egress Flexible NetFlow

Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.6.1

Flexible NetFlow allows you to monitor the traffic from access circuit on an L2VPN and L3VPN network. In addition to monitoring traffic in routed and ethernet service interfaces, you can now monitor traffic in VRF enabled L2 VFI (virtual forwarding interfaces) and cross-connect services.

This feature is not supported with the RSP3 module. It is only supported with the RSP2 module.

  • On an L2VPN network, the ingress and egress monitor are attached to L2 VFI enabled Ethernet Flow Point (EFP) in an access circuit.

  • On an L3VPN network, the ingress and egress monitor are attached to VRF enabled interface in an access circuit.


Note

NetFlow is supported on both ingress and egress direction in an access circuit network.

Prerequisites for Netflow Monitoring

  • Netflow Version 9 is the only default export format supported on the router.

  • To configure netflow and issue netflow commands, select the template

    • RSP2 —sdm prefer video.


      Note

      The template is chosen as video, and allows configuration of the netflow monitoring options.


Restrictions for Netflow Monitoring

  • Netflow ingress and egress monitoring in not supported on mpls core interface.

  • Configuration of caches entries number is not supported.

  • SADT or BFD feature cannot co-exist with netflow configurations

  • L2VPN Flow monitor configured under Xconnect does not monitor the flows and cache is not updated.

  • Configuring netflow monitor for both input and output direction under L2VPN Xconnect context (local connect) is not supported.

  • Netflow monitoring is supported over VRF-enabled interfaces on the router.

  • Netflow monitoring supports only the 7 keys—Source IP, Destination IP, Layer 3 protocol type, TOS, source port, destination port and input logical interface to identify or classify flows for both IPv4 and IPv6 unicast traffic. All other keys are not supported.

  • Non-key fields supported are packets and bytes (collect counter packets and collect counter bytes)

  • Only routed ports (IP Ethernet, BDI) and EFP are supported.

  • EFP flow monitoring can be configured only after configuring bridge-domain on the EFP service instance.

  • Flow monitoring of multicast traffic is not supported.

  • Maximum of 16K flows can only be learnt due to FPGA limitations. Though, netflow supports 16K entries, flows monitored are lower due to hash collisions.

  • Netflow monitoring can account for a maximum of 1Gbps traffic rate in the system (with a minimum frame size of 100 bytes). The accounting is accurate only when the overall traffic monitored is within 1Gbps. This is due to FPGA limitations.

  • At interface level, MVPN/MLDP/SPAN/PBR feature cannot be enabled on the same interface with netflow configuration.

  • Permanent and aggregate flow caches are not supported due to FPGA limitations.

    Configuration of caches entries number is not supported.

  • If BFD and netflow is enabled on the same interface, only the BFD ingress packets are monitored. BFD egress packet monitoring does not occur.

  • When ICMP (ping) and netflow is enabled on the same interface, only the ICMP ingress packets are monitored. ICMP egress packet monitoring does not occur.

  • At the global level, both netflow and PBR features use the same TCAM region for adding rules. The maximum size of the tunnel region is 2K. The scale of PBR feature may be reduced when netflow is enabled.

    SDM template must be set as video (similar to PBR) using the sdm prefer video command.

    When PBR and netflow is applied together on an interface, the order of operations is applicable. If PBR is applied first, netflow configuration will not work and vice-versa.

  • We recommend to remove netflow related commands before reverting to non-netflow-supported sdm template or image.

  • At the global level, SADT re-directs traffic towards FPGA. If SADT re-directs high volumes of traffic to FPGA, then netflow configuration may not work.

    If SADT and netflow is enabled on the same interface, only the SADT ingress packets are monitored. SADT egress packet monitoring is not monitored.

  • When netflow and Ethernet loopback (ELB) is enabled on same interface, the netflow monitoring behavior is inconsistent for the data packets. Data packets are not monitored intermittently, and netflow and OSPF flaps are observed when ELB is enabled.


    Note

    We recommend you avoid enabling ELB and netflow together, since the results are unexpected and inconsistent.


  • Sampler is not supported due to FPGA limitations.

  • IP flow monitor should not be applied before assigning IP address.

    When netflow and ACL configurations are applied together on routed interfaces in ingress direction, the denied packets are accounted in the netflow counters. When the same ACL and netflow combination configurations are applied on an EFP, the denied packets are not accounted in the netflow counters.

  • For clearing the flow status and cache, use the clear flow monitor statistics command and clear flow exporter statistics commands. Other clear commands shall not reset the entries.

  • Multiple flow monitors with the same traffic type and direction are not supported on an interface. Possible combinations supported on an interface at the same time are:

    • ip flow monitor input

    • ip flow monitor output

    • ipv6 flow monitor input

    • ipv6 flow monitor output

  • Maximum number of interfaces that support netflow monitoring at chassis level is 64.

  • Flow records are exported only when the flow expires due to active or inactive timer expiry. Due to FPGA limitations, the cache timeout granularity is 10 seconds.

  • Netflow version 9 format is used for flow information export. For exporting the netflow packets, only a single destination is supported under every flow exporter.

  • In the egress direction, even if only IPV4 traffic is enabled for netflow monitoring, both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic is forwarded to FPGA (and vice versa).

  • Netflow MIBs are not supported.

How to Configure Flexible Netflow

Workflow for Configuring Netflow Monitoring


Note

The match interface should have input and output directions specified. If it is missing in any direction, the value of the direction is considered NULL.


  1. Define the flow record for IPv4 or IPv6 flows.

    flow record TEST_IPV4_RECORD
     match ipv4 source address
     match ipv4 destination address
     match ipv4 protocol
     match interface input
     match interface output
     match transport source-port
     match transport destination-port
     match ipv4 tos
     collect counter packets
     collect counter bytes
    flow record TEST_IPV6_RECORD
     match ipv6 source address
     match ipv6 destination address
     match ipv6 traffic-class
     match ipv6 next-header
     match transport source-port
     match transport destination-port
     match interface input
     match interface output
     collect counter packets
     collect counter bytes
  2. Define the flow exporter to define the collector destination.

    flow exporter TEST_EXPORTER
     destination 10.10.10.100   <<<<--- This can be an IPv4 or IPv6 reachable destinationS
     source Loopback1
     dscp 23
     ttl 7
     transport udp 9999
     template data timeout 60   <<<----- To refresh and send the v9 template to collector
  3. Create the flow monitor to map the flow record and the flow exporter.

    flow monitor TEST_IPV4_MONITOR
     exporter TEST_EXPORTER
     cache timeout inactive 20
     cache timeout active 180
     record TEST_IPV4_RECORD
    
    flow monitor TEST_IPV6_MONITOR
     exporter TEST_EXPORTER
     cache timeout inactive 20   <<<<----- Timers to export packet to collector
     cache timeout active 180
     record TEST_IPV6_RECORD
    
  4. Attach the flow monitor to an interface.

    interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/20/2
     ip address 16.16.16.1 255.255.255.0
     ip flow monitor TEST_IPV4_MONITOR input  <<<<------ The above defined monitor in inbound and outbound directions
     ip flow monitor TEST_IPV4_MONITOR output
     negotiation auto
     ipv6 flow monitor TEST_IPV6_MONITOR input
     ipv6 flow monitor TEST_IPV6_MONITOR output
     ipv6 address 16:16:16::1/64
     bfd interval 1000 min_rx 1000 multiplier 4
    end
