Flow Export Template

You can configure your appliance to export statistical data to NetFlow and IPFIX collectors.

  • The appliance exports flows against two virtual interfaces—sp_lan and sp_wan—that accumulate the total of LAN–side and WAN–side traffic, regardless of physical interface.

  • These interfaces appear in SNMP and are, therefore, “discoverable” by NetFlow and IPFIX collectors.

  • For more information about Custom Information Elements, see Flow Export Tab.

  • Enable Flow Exporting allows the appliance to export the data to collectors (and makes the configuration fields accessible).

  • The Collector’s IP Address is the IP address of the device to which you are exporting the NetFlow/IPFIX statistics. The default Collector Port is 2055.

  • In Traffic Type, you can select as many of the traffic types as you want. The default is WAN TX.

  • Click the Anonymize IPs check box to enable anonymizing IP addresses in log messages. If enabled, select an option from the Bit Masking drop-down menu to indicate how IP addresses have bit masking applied in log messages.
