Enabling NetFlow Switching
You must enable NetFlow switching on all interfaces that will carry ContentFlow traffic. To enable
NetFlow switching, use the following commands beginning in interface configuration mode:
Normally the size of the NetFlow cache will meet your needs. To increase or decrease the number of
entries maintained in the cache, use the following command in global configuration mode:
Refer to the “Netflow Switching” part of the CiscoIOS Switching Services Configuration Guide for
more information on how to configure NetFlow switching.
Enabling IP Multicast Routing
You must enable IP multicast routing on all interfaces to the services manager.
To enable multicast routing on all interfaces, use the following command in global configuration mode:
To have the router join a multicast group and enable IGMP, use the following command in interface
configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Step1 Router(config-if)# interface type
slot/port-adapter/port
(Cisco 7500 series routers)
or
Router(config-if)# interface type slot/port
(Cisco 7200 series routers)
Specifies the interface, and enters interface
configuration mode.
Step2 Router(config-if)# ip route-cache flow Enables flow switching on the interface.
Command Purpose
Router(config)# ip flow-cache entries number Changes the number of entries maintained in the
NetFlow cache. The number of entries can be from
1024 to 524288. The default is 64536.
Command Purpose
Router(config)# ip multicast routing Enables multicast routing.
Command Purpose
Router(config-if)# ip igmp join-group group-address Joins a multicast group. This command must be
configured on all interfaces that will listen for the
services manager multicasts. The group address
must match that configured within the services
manager configuration.
