This document outlines the steps necessary to configure a Cisco 6800 IOS switch. Follow the instructions carefully to set up flow monitoring and exporters.

Enter global configuration mode:

config t

Create a flow record:

flow record MFErecord
match ipv4 protocol
match ipv4 source address
match ipv4 destination address
match transport source-port
match transport destination-port
match interface input
collect interface output
collect ipv4 source mask
collect ipv4 source prefix
collect ipv4 destination prefix
collect ipv4 destination mask
collect counter bytes long
collect counter packets long
collect timestamp sys-uptime first
collect timestamp sys-uptime last

Configure the flow exporter:

flow exporter MFEexporter
destination {MOTADATA_NETFLOW_SERVER_IP}
source {LOOPBACK_INTERFACE_NAME}
transport udp {MOTADATA_NETFLOW_SERVER_LISTENER_PORT}
template data timeout 60

Create a flow monitor:

flow monitor MFEmonitor
exporter MFEexporter
record MFErecord
cache timeout active 60

Enable flow monitoring on each desired interface:

interface {INTERFACE_NAME}
ip flow monitor MFEmonitor input

After completing the configuration, navigate to Menu > Flow Explorer and select Explorer to view the active flow data.
