VRF Aware NetFlow: Network Traffic Monitoring

SHARE

Read about virtual routing first before reading this post.  VRF aware Netflow is available in Scrutinizer since v7 and in IOS starting with 12.4(11)T, however I also saw in some documentation that support for VRF input was added in 15.0(1)M. This is of course via Flexible Netflow. You can set the input VRF as a key field in the NetFlow record, then use the VRF ID to filter reports based on that VRF in scrutinizer.

You would add the following to the flow record definition:
