IE-4000，Does Cisco's Industrial Switch IE series support netflow？

[zrich]

Hi , all.

It is possible to configure the IOS NetFlow in a IE4000?

While I was using this switch, I met some problems. After I started Netflow on the switch, the switch did not output the flow. The output is shown below.

Hello @zrich ,

according to table 9 of the following datasheet

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/industrial-ethernet-4000-series-switches/datasheet-c78-733058.html

IE 4000 should support Flexible Netflow with IP services License

Check the license you have it can be a license issue. If you have the right license it would become a configuration issue

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hi, dear Giuseppe, thanks, i've actived the license:

lab640#show license
Index 1 Feature: ipservices
Period left: 8 weeks 4 days
License Type: Evaluation
License State: Active, in Use, EULA accepted
License Priority: High
License Count: Non-Counted

Follow the flexible-netflow manual command, I can only use a portion of the flexbie-netflow command, like configure the monitor and expoter or something, but i can't configure the interface as the netflow interface, for example: 

Device(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 1/1/2

Device(config-if)# ip flow monitor FLOW-MONITOR-1 input

it shows invalid command,and the '^'symbol appears before the "flow" , like this: "^flow"

by the way, i also checked the cisco CFN Cisco Feature Navigator to get the function which IE4000 can supported, it shown something but not included NetFlow, Is that a problem? please.
