Catalyst 3560 netflow accounting

Jul 11, 2006 3 Replies

Does anyone know if Catalyst 3560 switches running IOS 12.2SSE advanced ip services support netflow accounting? According to Cisco's FN the



3550 series does. But how about the 3560?

Cheers, Alexander



Neither of them support Netflow.

Depends what you mean. They support Netflow to the extent that it accepts the commands. However, due to the nature of how the switch operates, it is unable to accurately report the Netflow data to you.

I want to learn what protocols/ports/etc are used most on my network. Therefore I thought enabling netflow accounting on the uplinks (connected to my ISP) and exporting the data to cflowd would give me an idea of what is going on.
