  • 1.  Data flow missing in NFA

    Posted Apr 01, 2019 09:55 AM

    Hi All,

     

    I've been using Netflow v5 for years and everything worked correctly. (NFA 9.3.3 - build 50)

     

    Last week I tried to configure V9 in one of my routers and since then I am just able to see one way traffic and with a significant less bandwidth.

     

     

    Already followed this tutorial

     https://comm.support.ca.com/kb/how-can-i-determine-if-a-netflow-enabled-device-is-sending-the-correct-fields-and-data-using-wireshark/kb000011095

     

    The harvester is receiving flows from the device and the required fields are seen within the flows. 

     

     

    Any ideas?

    Can you share the Netflow v9 configuration and the interface configuration?

    Please exclude any IP addresses as this is a public forum.

     

    If you are seeing one sided traffic, it may be that you have only ingress or only egress set on your interfaces.

    With Netflow v9 you can enable both "ip flow ingress" and "ip flow egress" on each interface you wish to monitor, where as Netflow v5 you could only enable one of those.

     

    If you are using Flexible Netflow the commands would be different.
