set netflow export-version

Use this command to set the NetFlow flow record format used to export data.

Syntax

set netflow export-version {5 | 9}

Parameters

5 | 9 Specifies the NetFlow flow record format to use when exporting NetFlow packets, either Version 5 or 9.

The default is Version 5.

Defaults

None.

Mode

All command modes.

Usage

NetFlow supports a single Version 5 template. NetFlow Version 9 supports 15 IPv4 and 15 IPv6 Extreme Networks predefined templates. The NetFlow enabled device automatically selects the appropriate Version 9 template based upon the contents of the flow and the data record types supported in the template. Template data record types are defined by the NetFlow standard.

See NetFlow Configuration in the S-, K-, and 7100 Series Configuration Guide for both NetFlow Version 5 and Version 9 template details.

For Version 9 templates, the source and destination MAC address data records and VLANs associated with both the ingress and egress interfaces data records can be optionally included when exporting data records to the collector. Enabling the export of optional data records to the NetFlow collector is set using set netflow export-data. Including these export data options in the flow record makes the record larger and results in fewer records and exported packets.

Use the clear netflow export-version command to reset the export version to the default value of Version 5.

Use the show netflow config command (show netflow) to display the current NetFlow version.

Example

This example shows how to set the flow record format to Version 9:

System(rw)->set netflow export-version 9
