Enabling MSP
You must configure the MSP profile flow command to activate the MSP platform Packet parser. This is
because the MSP device handler is tightly coupled with MSP flow parser. Not enabling this command
means that MSP will not send SIP, H323 notifications to the IOS sensor.
To enable MSP, follow these steps, beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Use the no form of the profile flow command to disable MSP.
Enabling Accounting Augmentation
For the Device Sensor protocol data to be added to accounting messages, you must first enable session
accounting by using the following standard Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) and
RADIUS configuration commands:
Switch(config)# aaa new-model
Switch(config)# aaa accounting dot1x default start-stop group radius
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Switch# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
profile flow
Switch(config)# profile flow
Enables MSP.
Step 3
end
Switch(config)# end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
