Configuring Flow Exports on 3Com 5500

For NetFlow analysis, you need to configure your devices to export flows to Site24x7 On-Premise Poller, which is the NetFlow collector. The On-Premise Poller will be listening to the particular port to receive flows. Learn how to find the port number of your On-Premise Poller.

Configure flows (NetStream) on 3com 5500 devices using the following commands:

ip netstream export source interface {LOOPBACK_INTERFACE_NAME}
ip netstream export host {NETFLOW_SERVER_IP} {NETFLOW_SERVER_LISTENER_PORT}

Enter global configuration mode on the router or Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC), and issue the following commands for each interface on which you want to enable flow:

interface {INTERFACE_NAME}
ip netstream inbound
