Chapter 8 Raw Data Formatting: The RDR Formatter and NetFlow Exporting
Configuring the RDR Formatter
Configuring the Forwarding Mode
In a deployment where there are multiple destinations for at least one category, and at least one of those
is a NetFlow destination, the multicast forwarding mode must be configured.
Options
The following forwarding modes are available:
•
redundancy
— All records are sent only to the primary (active) connection. If the primary
connection fails, the records will be sent to the connected destination with the next highest priority.
•
multicast
— All records are sent to all destinations. This feature may negatively affect performance
in an installation with a high rate of data.
•
load-balancing
— Each successive record is sent to a different destination, one destination after the
other, in a round robin manner. It is the responsibility of the collectors to aggregate the records.
Step 1
From the SCE(config)# prompt, type
rdr-formatter forwarding-mode
mode
and press
Enter
.
Configures the specified forwarding mode.
Configuring the Forwarding Mode: Example
The following example shows how to set the forwarding-mode to multicast.
SCE(config)# rdr-formatter forwarding-mode multicast
