NetFlow Statistics Overview
CEF for PFC2 generates flow statistics for Layer 3-switched traffic, which are stored in the NetFlow
table. NetFlow statistics can be displayed with
show
commands and are also available to NetFlow Data
Export (NDE).
Note
A NetFlow table with more than 32K entries increases the probability that there will be insufficient
room to store statistics. To reduce the number of entries in the NetFlow table, you can exclude
specified IP protocols from the statistics (see the
“Excluding IP Protocol Entries from the NetFlow
Table” section on page 13-25
).
