Q.What is NetFlow-Lite?

A.The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series supports hardware-driven NetFlow-Lite. NetFlow-Lite uses sampled flows to provide statistics for network traffic accounting, network monitoring, and network planning. A flow is created using a flow record, which defines the unique keys of the flow. NetFlow-Lite provides valuable information about network users and applications, peak usage times, and traffic routing.

Q.Is NetFlow-Lite supported on all Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series models?

A.NetFlow-Lite is not supported on LAN Lite models. It is supported on LAN Base and IP Lite models of the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series.

Q.Is NetFlow-Lite supported on all ports of the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series?

A.NetFlow-Lite is natively supported on all downlink and uplink ports of the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series. No service module is required to support NetFlow-Lite on the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series.

Q.Is NetFlow-Lite supported on mixed stacks?

A.Yes, NetFlow-Lite is supported on mixed stacks (stacks of Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960-X Series Switches). But NetFlow-Lite monitor can be attached only on Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series ports.
