Limit on Number of Netflow Exporter

[latenaite2011]

Hey Everyone,

Just wondering if there is a limit on the maximum number export that you can have on the following models:

3650

4400

9300

This would be sending to Stealthwatch.

thanks!

the device mentioned was running different IOS codes, some IOS and some IOS XE.

if you looking IOS XE

Each flow exporter supports only one destination. If you want to export the data to multiple destinations, you must configure multiple flow exporters and assign them to the flow monitor.

You can export to a destination using either an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

More information can be find here : (Information About Flexible NetFlow Output Features on Data Export)

But, what is the maximum number ?

I'm not aware of a published number with regard to the number of exporters (destinations) you can configure on a given switch. However, it's not a recommended practice to configure multiple ones.

A given Secure Network Analytics (current name for previous Stealthwatch Enterprise product) deployment only requires you send flow records to a single flow collector. If you have multiple applications needing flow records in your enterprise, you can deploy a UDP director.
