Has anyone configured netflow on a Cisco Nexus 6000 with NXOS 7?

[FRANK ELLIGER]

I'm trying to configure a Nexus 6000 for collecting and sending NetFlow data to my NFA Server.

I can enable  the feature and can define exporter, monitor and record.

But I'm not able to configure an interface. The command "ip flow ..." is not available.

Any idea?

I've got an answer from Cisco.

The command "ip flow ..." is only available on Interfaces, which are not configured as switchport.

 

I've started testing it with a configuration like:

     flow timeout 60
     flow exporter FlowExp_NetQosServer
            description Net Flow Export to NetQosServer
            destination 1.2.3.4 use-vrf xxxx
            transport udp 9995
            source loopback3
            version 9
            template data timeout 300
            option exporter-stats timeout 60
     sampler FlowSampler1
            description NetFlow TestSampler 1
            mode 1 out-of 1
      flow monitor FlowMoni_NetQosServer
            record netflow-original
            exporter FlowExp_NetQosServer

     ...
     interface Vlan1234
           ...
             ip flow monitor FlowMoni_NetQosServer input sampler FlowSampler1
          ...

It seems this works.
