NDE Configuration Guidelines
This section describes the configuration guidelines if the NetFlow table has too many entries:
•
With software release 8.5(1) and later releases, the multiple flow mask feature is supported on
Supervisor Engine 720. This feature results in some changes to the NDE functionality. For detailed
information on using the multiple flow mask feature with NDE, see the
“Flow Mask
Modes—Software Release 8.5(1) and Later Releases” section on page 14-7
.
•
Reduce the MLS aging time. For PFC2, set the aging time high enough to keep the number of entries
within the 32,000 flow range of the PFC2. For PFC3A, set the aging time high enough to keep the
number of entries within the 64,000 flow range of the PFC3A.
When using the bridged-flow statistics with a Supervisor Engine 2, set the aging time to 1 second.
For information on how to change the MLS aging time, see the
“Specifying the MLS Aging-Time
Value” section on page 14-19
in
Chapter 14, “Configuring MLS.”
Note
The bridged-flow statistics are not supported on Supervisor Engine 720 or Supervisor
Engine 32.
