no flow-export destination {1 | 2}

flow-export {disable | enable}

flow-export engine-id <0-255>

flow-export engine-type <0-255>

flow-export traffic-type <lan-rx | lan-tx | wan-rx | wan-tx>
no flow-export traffic-type <lan-rx | lan-tx | wan-rx | wan-tx>

Arguments

active-flow-timeout <1-30>	Specifies the flow-export active flow timeout. The range is 1 to 30 minutes.
destination {1 | 2} <Collector IP address> <Collector port>	Specifies the IP address and port for the NetFlow collector. You can configure up to two collectors. Use the no form of this command to disable the export of NetFlow records to either Collector 1 or Collector 2.
disable	Disables the export of NetFlow records.
enable	Enables the export of NetFlow records.
engine-id <0-255>	Specifies the VIP or LC slot number of the flow switching engine.
engine-type <0-255>	Specifies the flow-export engine type. They are: • 0 for RP, and • 1 for VIP/LC.
traffic-type <lan-rx | lan-tx | wan-rx | wan-tx>	Specifies which interface to turn on for flow exporting. Use the no form of this command to turn off a specific interface’s flow exporting.

Usage Guidelines

The appliance lets you turn on up to four interfaces for flow exporting. However, you must specify each interface by using a separate command.

Examples

To configure NetFlow Collector #2, located at 10.10.10.4, using port 146:

(config) # flow-export destination 2 10.10.10.4 146

To disable the export of NetFlow records to Collector #1:

(config) # flow-export destination 1

To turn on the WAN Tx and LAN Rx interfaces for flow exporting:

(config) # flow-export traffic-type wan-tx (carriage return)

(config) # flow-export traffic-type lan-rx
