Cisco Systems 5, NAM manual Testing NetFlow Devices

Chapter 2 Setting Up The NAM Traffic Analyzer

Traffic

root@172-20-104-107.cisco.com#

Step 2 Use the no data-sourcecommand to delete the data source:

root@172-20-104-107.cisco.com# no data-source 3 Successfully deleted data source 3 root@172-20-104-107.cisco.com#

Step 3 Show all devices so you can find the ID of the one you want to delete:

root@172-20-104-107.cisco.com# show device

DEVICE ID		: 1
DEVICE TYPE		: NDE (Netflow Data Export)

root@172-20-104-107.cisco.com#

Step 4 Use the no device command to delete the device:

root@172-20-104-107.cisco.com# no device 1 Successfully deleted device 1 root@172-20-104-107.cisco.com#

Note that if the auto-creation mode is on, and the device continues to send NDE packets to the NAM, the data source (and device entry) will be re-created again automatically as soon as the next NDE packet arrives. Therefore, if you wish to delete an existing NetFlow data source, it is usually advisable to first turn the NetFlow auto-create feature off, as described earlier.
