Chapter 8 Raw Data Formatting: The RDR Formatter and NetFlow Exporting
Configuring Data Destinations and Categories
A priority value may be assigned. Priority is important in the redundancy forwarding mode, but not
crucial in multicast mode. Remember that in multicast mode, the existence of any priority value causes
the destination to receive reports. The relationship between priorities and categories is addressed in
Configuring a Destination and Assigning Categories, page 8-8
.
Step 1
From the SCE(config)# prompt, type
rdr-formatter destination
ip-address
port
portnumber
[priority
priority
] protocol
protocol
[transport
transport
]
and press
Enter
.
Defines the destination. When no category is specified, as in the above example, the specified priority is
assigned to all categories.
Configuring the Data Destinations: Examples
Example 1
This example shows how to configure a simple system with only one destination, using the NetFlow
protocol. With only one destination, it is not necessary to configure a priority value.
SCE(config)# rdr-formatter destination 10.1.1.205 port 33000 protocol NetFlowV9 transport
udp
Example 2
The following example shows how to configure two destinations in a system without using the
categories.
The first destination will automatically be assigned a priority of 100, and therefore the priority does not
need to be explicitly defined. For the second destination, the priority must be explicitly defined.
The same priority will automatically be assigned to both categories for each destination, but since the
categories will be ignored, this is irrelevant.
SCE(config)# rdr-formatter destination 10.1.1.205 port 33000 protocol RdrV1 transport tcp
SCE(config)# rdr-formatter destination 10.1.1.206 port 33000 priority 80 protocol RdrV1
transport tcp
Configuring the Data Categories
There are two steps in defining the data categories:
•
Define the category names (optional).
•
Configuring the destinations with the proper priorities for each category, as well as configuring all
the other destination parameters, may be approached in several different ways, and may take some
planning. Refer to the examples below for illustrations of some of the issues involved in configuring
categories.
Options
The following options are available:
•
category-number
— the number of the category (1-4)
•
category-name
— the name to be assigned to the category
