Problem for removed the Netflow on 3750

[mickael.besse]

Hello everyone and thank you in advance for your help

We have try to set up NetFlow on 3750 switch

WS-C3750X-48P 15.0(2)SE8 C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M
WS-C3750X-24 15.2(4)E1 C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M

Since it did not work, I decided to delete it
After many try, I decided to post this request for help
it is impossible to delete the NetFlow configuration
I have these error messages

% Flow Exporter: Flow Exporter FlowExporterDC is in use. Remove from all clients before deleting.

it's the same with Monitor and record

It tryed with this command
no ip flow monitor

But nothing, this command does'nt exist

If you can help me

thank you in advance

If there are NetFlow statements in the config, which you cannot remove, you might need to edit the startup config (to remove those statements), replace it (i.e. the saved startup config), and reload the device.

Hi, Do you have "ip flow monitor xxxxxx input|output" commands configured on interfaces? If so you'd need to remove those entries before you can delete the flow monitor.

If you wish to remove the flow exporter and it's referenced in the flow monitor then you'd need to removed that before you can delete the exporter.

You were right !!
In fact I had forgotten this parameter in Trunk interfaces

I deleted the NetFlow settings
And I was able to remove the rest in the main configuration

Sorry for the inconvenience
And thank you again

I have the same issue, what are the steps you use to remove those netflow configs

If you don't want reload the device, just do copy start run and it will work just fine.

"Copy start run" normally does a merge, not a replace, so that might not do what's desired.
