ASA 5505 and 5520 netflow

[franpena2008]

Good morning support,

We had some ASA 5505 and 5520 and would like to send flow statistics to a netflow collector. is it possible with models 5505 and 5520 and with Version 8.0?

Thanks and regards

Fran

AFAIK only the 5580 has netflow capabilities in ver 8.2

No other ASA platform supports netflow at this time.

Hi all,

I think I found interesting information about the topic:

ASA version 8.2 software supports NetFlow export across all ASA models,

The implementation used on the ASA platforms is NetFlow v9 which is defined

by

RFC3954. The feature was introduced in ASA 8.2.1/ASDM 6.2.1.

I hope it will be helpfull

Best regards

Fran

ASA version 8.2 for any ASA model supports Netflow.

Here is a sample config for it http://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-6113

I hope it is clear now.

Hello,

Here is how to configure the ASA:

We have been getting a few calls with questions on the uniqueness of the NetFlows exported by the Cisco ASA. Check out this PDF:

Make sure you are running 8.2.1.  Use Scrutinizer for NetFlow Analysis.

Good luck,

Jake
