Configuring NetFlow-lite
Note NetFlow-lite is only supported on Catalyst 4948E and Catalyst 4948E-F Ethernet switches in IP Base or
higher.
This chapter describes how to configure NetFlow-lite, which provides traffic monitoring capabilities
similar to those provided through NetFlow.
The following topics are included:
• About NetFlow Packet Sampling, page 73-1
• Feature Interaction, page 73-2
• Configuring NetFlow Packet Sampling, page 73-2
• Display Commands, page 73-8
• Clear Commands, page 73-9
Note For complete syntax and usage information for the switch commands used in this chapter, see the
Cisco IOS Command Reference Guides for the Catalyst 4500 Series Switch.
If a command is not in the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Command Reference , you can locate it in
the Cisco IOS Master Command List, All Releases.
Note VLAN monitors are not supported in Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SG.
Note Refer to the NetFlow Solutions Guide for more detailed information on NetFlow usage and management.
About NetFlow Packet Sampling
The NetFlow-lite feature is based on ingress packet sampling at a monitoring point that can be an
interface on the switch. By exporting NetFlow sampled packets, it provides visibility into traffic that is
switched through the device. The rate at which input packets are sampled is configurable and a wide
range of sampling rates are supported. The sampled packets can be exported with NetFlow V9 or IPFIX
format.
