SolarWinds Orion NetFlow Traffic Analyzer v3.5 - Service Pack 2
This service pack requires Orion NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (Orion NTA) version 3.5. This service pack should be installed on all Orion servers on which Orion NTA is installed.
Existing customers may download the Service Pack from their SolarWinds customer portal.
Evaluators interested in Cisco ASA support should contact their sales representative to get access to the download.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON CISCO ASA SUPPORT: While working with customers, we found a bug in the Cisco ASA’s implementation of NetFlow. When exporting NetFlow v9 packets, the Cisco ASA is pulling from IDB identifier instead of the SNMP identifier. This causes NetFlow to appear to be exported from unexpected interfaces (e.g. interfaces that are down). Special thanks to Donald_Francis for helping us figure this out and for filing bug CSCtb63825 with Cisco! The good news is the bug doesn’t prevent the display of data in our product. However, you will need to add manage all Cisco ASA interfaces in Orion and add all as NetFlow sources to ensure you can see flows.
UPDATE (10/5): Donald Francis that Cisco has stated 8.2.1.12 that should be available 10/16 and fixes this issue
To install this service pack, extract and then run the Netflow-3.5-Update.exe file.
