Hello there,
I need to know if Cisco Switch 2960 support Netflow. If it doesn't, how do I configure the switch to enable Netflow? Your help will be appreciated

Hi,
The 2960 is a layer-2 device and does not support Netflow.

Hello,
Can you please clarify your goal. Netflow is indeed not possible on 2960, that does not care of any L3 accounting info - it just do pure L2 switching (except mgmt VLAn - but that is limited).
If you want to do netflow - you will need to do that on higher layer - Distribution or Core.
On 2960 you can consider SPAN to catch all traffic on particular port and then check with wireshark e.g.

2960 is a layer 2 switch netflow doesn't operate on it as its L3 feature collector , it is available on the X and XR series though , never seen it on a standard 2960
