Is Alcatel's cflowd supported in NTA?

Hi,

Is Alcatel's cflowd supported in NTA? The support list didn't mention about cflowd.

If supported, is there any example CLI commands to enable and configure it?

Thanks!

cflowd should work without any problems. NTA requires the fields discussed in this KB. My recommendation is to turn it out and find out :-)

Can you tell me the exact platform you are looking to configure this on so I can try to help point you in the right direction for configuration assistance?

The OS Configuration Guide has good information on how to configure cflow. I couldn't quickly find this on Alcatel's site (I don't have a login). But if you do, the CFlow sections starts on page 430 (good config info starts on 443)

If you don't have access, you can look at it on this page: http://www.pdfio.com/k-246128.html#

Two tips are:

NTA listens on port 2055 by default. You can change this, but just make sure the port you are configure the device to send traffic on matches the port NTA is listening on.
Our NTA collector supports NTA v5 fields. You will probably need to set the export configuration to RAW.

Let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance.

Thanks! We will try it and hopefully it works.
