I'm trying to gather netflow data from a router at another site that's linked with an IPSEC VPN.
Here's a quick network map:
[Collector]------[HQ 2801 router]------[HQ ASA Firewall]-------VPN---------[Remote 2801 router]
I'm able to collect netflow data from the HQ 2801 but not the ASA firewall (directly connected to HQ 2801 but on a different subnet) or the Remote 2801.
One thing I've noticed is that I can't ping from the command line of the Remote 2801 to any hosts behind the HQ 2801. Obviously hosts from behind the Remote 2801 can ping the HQ subnet but not from the actual command line. This makes me think it's a NAT issue but my attempts to confirm or deny this suspicion has only resulted in breaking the VPN connection.
Ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks!

I made some headway; It turns out my collector (Liveaction from ActionPacked Networks) was too old and didn't understand Netflow version 9. However I'm still not receiving flow data from the Remote 2801. I think the problem is NAT related since I'm not able to TFTP or ping the HQ from the Remote 2801.
Suggestions?

Apparently I need to enable Flexible Netflow to get the NF data to go over the tunnel. I found a sample configuration from here: http://thwack.com/forums/48/orion-family/9/network-performance-monitor/24216/exporting-netflow-over-ipsec-v/
The configuration is as follows:
flow exporter dwtmonitor
destination 10.0.16.172
source Loopback0
transport udp 2055
output-features
flow monitor default-export
record netflow-original
exporter dwtmonitor
ip flow monitor default-export output command under the interface on which crypto is applied :
interface Serial0/0/0:0
description AT&T CID #DHEC 020497
ip flow monitor default-export output
ip flow ingress
ip inspect INBOUND in
crypto map Anchorage
However the "flow exporter
Perhaps flexible netflow isn't availble for Verision 12.4(25b) Advance IP Services? Can anyone confirm/deny?
