Configuring the IPFIX Collector

1. Enter Global Configuration mode:

   enable

   configure terminal

2. Configure values for the collector ID, the IP address of the collector, and the IP address of the exporter. Optionally, you can configure values for the source port sending flow information and the destination port receiving flow information:

   ip ipfix collector <1–1> {A.B.C.D} exporter-ip {A.B.C.D} [dest-port <1-65535>] [src-port <1-65535>]

   

   Note

   You cannot configure collector or exporter IP addresses in the following formats:

   • 255.255.255.255

   • 127. x.x.x

   • 0.x.x.x

   • 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255

   If you configure a collector or exporter IP address in any of these formats, the following error message is displayed:

   

   Error: Invalid IP address

3. Optional: Configure a value for the export interval:

   ip ipfix collector 1 export-interval <1-120>

4. Optional: Configure a value for the initial burst of template packets:

   ip ipfix collector 1 initial-burst <1-10>
