L2 Netflow Nexus 7K

bhoward99 over 13 years ago

I have L3 Netflow working, but need some assistance with L2.

I know it is supported on the N7K/Cisco.

Anyone know if this has been tested by Solarwinds or if this is

a support configuration ?

Here is my configuration:

This document seems to be dead. Is there an updated link? On another note MCBRIDEA indicates in this post: that L2 flows will be dropped. Is L2 netflow supported in Orion?

Nope(unless something has changed). That's MAC Accounting vs IP Accounting.
