Manufacturer: Cisco

Model(s): Meraki MX/Z1

Version(s): N/A

URL: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Monitoring_and_Reporting/NetFlow_Overview

Notes:

• All MX models and Z1 support NetFlow version 9.
• The MX can only export NetFlow data for traffic that hits the CPU, specifically traffic that is NAT’ed or routed. If traffic is hardware switched (i.e. within the same VLAN), then the MX won’t see the needed information to send any NetFlow updates on it.

Configuration steps for NetFlow via the Dashboard

NetFlow can be configured in Dashboard on the Network-wide > Configure > General page. NetFlow configuration settings are found under the Reporting header, with the following options:

• NetFlow traffic reporting
  • A drop-down menu to enable or disable NetFlow functionality
• NetFlow collector IP
  • This configuration option only appears if NetFlow traffic reporting is set to “Enabled: send netflow traffic statistics”
  • Used to configure the IPv4 address of the Plixer collector
• NetFlow collector port
  • This configuration option only appears if NetFlow traffic reporting is set to “Enabled: send netflow traffic statistics”
  • Used to configure the UDP port that the Plixer collector will be listening on. 2055 or 9995 are typical options.
