We have received numerous requests for assistance with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 NetFlow configuration recently, and in researching this particular configuration, uncovered a licensing requirement. One of the customers that we worked with had the LAN base license level. NetFlow exports are not supported for that licensing level, rather, an IP base license level is included in the Cisco 3850 NetFlow requirements.

Did you ever consider that using Flexible NetFlow, specifically an NBAR NetFlow configuration, could provide another aspect of network security for you?
