Flow Monitor Support for ExtremeSwitching 5720 Series

Version 32.4 adds Flow Monitor feature support to ExtremeSwitching 5720 series switches. Flow Monitor provides IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) and K-Mirror support based on RFC 7011 to collect and export flow records for Universal platforms. Flow Monitor builds on IPFIX by providing additional metering and exporting processes. Flow Monitor enables switches to gather information about flows through different ports on each switch and export the flow records (via UDP) to one or more remote collectors. This information can be used to analyze application and network usage, and monitor real-time network infrastructure.

Supported Platforms

This feature is supported on ExtremeSwitching 5420, 5520, and 5720 series switches.
