wlc 5508 issue with netflow

[ivan.martin]

Hi

I have a wlc 5508- 8.5.171.0 with flex connect central auth local switching. WLC with flex connect deployment will support stealthwatch v7.3 (flow collector for netflow)?. I have more of 500 AP's connected.

Thanks. Ivan.

Hi balaji

My wlc doesn't has dnac. Might it possible support (flex connect local switching) with stealthwatch v7.3?

Regards, Ivan.

If I'm not mistaken, Netflow with Flexconnect together is not supported. Maybe with central switching, but typically the WLC is the flow exporter. 

Actually I found the answer:
