Hi,

May be a solution : with the new IOS version 12.2.18SXE a catalyst 650x can send Netflow data to 2 differents destinations.

Hi All,
I use flow-import pcap hack fuction :

In my environment, our cisco device is cata6509. Now the netflow traffic is send to billing system,and cata6509 can't send multiple destination. So I setup port mirroring on the cata3550 before the billing machine, and use our flowscan machine to catch the sniffered netflow traffic using tcpdump.(flow-import -f1)

The traffic is 2Gbps by mrtg. and about 1.5Mbps netflow traffic. But I found our flow-import lost many data. It seems that the traffic get by port mirroring is always out of order. The output is as belows:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] hcj]# tcpdump -n udp -i eth0 -s 2000 port 555 -w -|/home/hcj/flow-tools-0.56/src/flow-import -b big  -V5 -f1|/home/hcj/flow-tools-0.56/src/flow-send  192.168.25.31/192.169.25.2/2000

641 packets captured
4026 packets received by filter
3385 packets dropped by kernel

It may not becasue of lose data, it may because of out of oder sequence UDP packets by tcpdump. Below is the output of tcpdump, we can clearly see the out of order traffic:

08:13:29.839859 IP 192.168.25.1.49725 > 192.168.25.3.555: UDP, length: 1416

08:13:41.515162 IP 192.168.25.1.49725 > 192.168.25.3.555: UDP, length: 1416

Do you know how to deal with it? Since now I don't consider using flow-fanout.
