Configuring NDE on a CatOS Device

A layer 3 switch running CatOS appears as two devices; the MSFC can be configured
to export NetFlow information on all the packets it routes by following the instructions

for configuring an

IOS

device above.

In privileged mode on the Supervisor Engine, issue the following to enable NDE:

set system name

Set the name of your switch. Note that even if the prompt has been set to the

name of the switch you still need this command.

set mls nde

2055

Use the address of your NetFlow Tracker machine and one of the ports
configured in the

Listener Ports

settings page. Port 2055 is monitored by

default.

set mls nde version 7

This sets the export version. Version 7 is the most recent full export version

supported by switches.

set mls agingtime long 64

This breaks up long-lived flows into (roughly) one-minute segments.

set mls agingtime 32

This ensures that flows that have finished are exported in a timely manner.

set mls flow full

This sets the flow mask to full flows. This is required to get useful information
from the switch.

set mls bridged-flow-statistics enable

CatOS 7.(2) or higher is required for this command, which enables NDE for all

traffic within the specified VLANs rather than just inter-VLAN traffic.

set mls nde enable

This enables NDE.

show mls nde

show mls debug

These commands can help debug your NDE configuration.
