Chapter78 Configuring NetFlow Secure Event Logging (NSEL)
Configuration Examples for NSEL
Configuration Examples for NSEL
The following examples show how to filter NSEL events, with the specified collectors already
configured:
flow-export destination inside 209.165.200.2055
flow-export destination outside 209.165.201.29 2055
flow-export destination outside 209.165.201.27 2055
Log all events between hosts 209.165.200.224 and hosts 209.165.201.224 to 209.165.200.230, and log
all other events to 209.165.201.29:
hostname (config)# access-list flow_export_acl permit ip host 209.165.200.224 host
209.165.201.224
hostname (config)# class-map flow_export_class
hostname (config-cmap)# match access-list flow_export_acl
hostname (config)# policy-map flow_export_policy
hostname (config-pmap)# class flow_export_class
hostname (config-pmap-c)# flow-export event-type all destination 209.165.200.230
hostname (config-pmap)# class class-default
hostname (config-pmap-c)# flow-export event-type all destination 209.165.201.29
hostname (config)# service-policy flow_export_policy global
Log flow-create events to 209.165.200.230, flow-teardown events to 209.165.201.29, flow-denied
events to 209.165.201.27, and flow-update events to 209.165.200.230:
hostname (config)# policy-map flow_export_policy
hostname (config-pmap)# class class-default
hostname (config-pmap-c)# flow-export event-type flow-creation destination 209.165.200.230
hostname (config-pmap-c)# flow-export event-type flow-teardown destination 209.165.201.29
hostname (config-pmap-c)# flow-export event-type flow-denied destination 209.165.201.27
hostname (config-pmap-c)# flow-export event-type flow-update destination 209.165.200.230
hostname (config)# service-policy flow_export_policy global
Log flow-create events between hosts 209.165.200.224 and 209.165.200.230 to 209.165.201.29, and log
all flow-denied events to 209.165.201.27:
hostname (config)# access-list flow_export_acl permit ip host 209.165.200.224 host
209.165.200.230
hostname (config)# class-map flow_export_class
hostname (config)# match access-list flow_export_acl
hostname (config)# policy-map flow_export_policy
hostname (config-pmap)# class flow_export_class
hostname (config-pmap-c)# flow-export event-type flow-creation destination 209.165.200.29
hostname (config-pmap-c)# flow-export event-type flow-denied destination 209.165.201.27
hostname (config-pmap)# class class-default
hostname (config-pmap-c)# flow-export event-type flow-denied destination 209.165.201.27
hostname (config)# service-policy flow_export_policy global
Note You must enter the following command:
hostname (config-pmap-c)# flow-export event-type flow-denied destination 209.165.201.27
for flow_export_acl, because traffic is not checked after the first match, and you must explicitly define
the action to log flow-denied events that match flow_export_acl.
Log all traffic except traffic between hosts 209.165.201.27 and 209.165.201.50 to 209.165.201.27:
hostname (config)# access-list flow_export_acl deny ip host 209.165.201.30 host
209.165.201.50
