DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters the global configuration mode.configure terminal
Example:
Switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Enters interface configuration mode and configures an interface.
interface type
Step 2
Example:
Switch(config)# interface
Command parameters for the interface configuration include:
You cannot attach a NetFlow monitor to a port channel interface. If both
service module interfaces are part of an EtherChannel, you should attach
the monitor to both physical interfaces.
GigabitEthernet1/0/1
Associate an IPv4 or an IPv6 flow monitor, and an optional sampler to
the interface for input or output packets.
{ip flow monitor | ipv6 flow monitor}name
[|sampler name] { input |output }
Step 3
Example:
Switch(config-if)# ip flow monitor
To monitor datalink L2 traffic flows, you would use datalink flow
monitor name sampler sampler-name {input} interface command. This
specific command associates a datalink L2 flow monitor and required
sampler to the interface for input packets. When a datalink flow monitor

is assigned to an interface or VLAN record, it only creates flows for
non-IPv6 or non-IPv4 traffic.
Whenever you assign a flow monitor to an interface, you must
configure a sampler. If the sampler is missing, you will receive
an error message.
Note
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.end
Example:
Switch(config-flow-monitor)# end
Step 4
(Optional) Displays information about NetFlow on an interface.
show flow interface [interface-type number]
Step 5
Example:
Switch# show flow interface
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.copy running-config startup-config
Step 6
Example:
Switch# copy running-config
