These sections describe how to configure NDE on the MSFC:
Enabling NetFlow, page 33-13
Configuring the MSFC NDE Source Layer 3 Interface, page 33-13
Configuring the NDE Destination, page 33-14
Note You must enable NetFlow on the MSFC Layer 3 interfaces to support NDE on the PFC and NDE on
the MSFC.
You must enable NDE on the MSFC to support NDE on the PFC.

Enabling NetFlow

To enable NetFlow, perform this task for each Layer 3 interface from which you want NDE:

Configuring the MSFC NDE Source Layer 3 Interface

To configure the Layer 3 interface used as the source of the NDE packets containing statistics from the
MSFC, perform this task:
This example shows how to configure a loopback interface as the NDE flow source:
Router(config)# ip flow-export source loopback 0
Router(config)#
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router(config)# interface {vlan vlan_ID} |
{type1 slot/port} | {port-channel
port_channel_number}
1. type = ethernet, fastethernet, gigabitethernet, tengigabitethernet, or ge-wan
Selects an interface to configure.
Step 2 Router(config-if)# ip route-cache flow Enables NetFlow.
Command Purpose
Router(config)# ip flow-export source {{vlan vlan_ID}
| {type1 slot/port} | {port-channel number} |
{loopback number}}
1. type = ethernet, fastethernet, gigabitethernet, or tengigabitethernet
Configures the interface used as the source of the NDE
packets containing statistics from the MSFC:
Select an interface configured with an IP address.
You can use a loopback interface.
Router(config)# no ip flow-export source Clears the NDE source interface configuration.
