Configuring Huawei (NetStream)

This document provides instructions on configuring NetStream Export on Huawei devices.

Configuration Steps for Huawei Devices​

Enable NetStream on the device:

ip netstream export host {hostname|ip_address} 2055

This exports the NetStream to the specified IP address. Use the IP address of the AIOps Flow Explorer server along with the configured listener port (default is 2055).

Set the source IP address for NetStream exports:

ip netstream export source interface {interface name}

Enable NetStream on the desired interface:

ip netstream inbound

Example Configuration​

To configure a Huawei device with the IP address 192.168.1.1 to export flow to server 192.168.2.2, use the following commands:

ip netstream export host 172.08.21.2 2055
ip netstream export source 172.08.20.1
ip netstream timeout active 1
ip netstream timeout inactive 15
ip netstream export version 9
ip netstream template timeout 1

For all interfaces, run:

ip netstream inbound
ip netstream inbound

After completing the configuration, navigate to Menu > Flow Explorer and select the Event Source(s) and the associated Interface(s) from the drop-downs to view the active flow data.
