Netflow Management

NetFlow is a protocol for exporting metrics for IP traffic flows. NetFlow data is sent from a flow exporter to a flow collector. Services and applications that serve as NetFlow collectors are designed to receive the NetFlow data sent from exporters, aggregate the information, and provide data visualization and exploration toolsets.

Examples

Example-1: The example below demonstrates configuring netwflow with collector ip address and port number.

meraki:
  domains:
    - name: !env domain
      administrator:
        name: !env org_admin
      organizations:
        - name: !env org
          networks:
            - name: !env network_name
              product_types:
                - appliance
                - switch
                - wireless
                - camera
                - sensor
                - cellularGateway
              netflow:
                collector_ip: 10.10.109.99
                collector_port: 2055
                reporting: true

Example-2: The example below demonstrates configuring netwflow along with Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) specific settings.

meraki:
  domains:
    - name: !env domain
      administrator:
        name: !env org_admin
      organizations:
        - name: !env org
          networks:
            - name: !env network_name
              product_types:
                - appliance
                - switch
                - wireless
                - camera
                - sensor
                - cellularGateway
              netflow:
                collector_ip: 10.10.109.99
                collector_port: 2055
                reporting: true
                eta: true
                eta_destination_port: 2056
