Chapter 2 Installing CNS NetFlow Collection Engine

Installing on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Platform

Step 11 You are asked whether CNS Netflow Collection Engine should be started automatically when the system initializes:

Would you like NFC to be started when the system initializes? (y/n) y

If you respond y, the following rc scripts are created for autostarting CNS Netflow Collection Engine when the system initializes:

rcdir/init.d/csco_nfcd

rcdir/rc3.d/S999csco_nfcd (symbolic link to ../init.d/csco_nfcd)

rcdir/rc2.d/K999csco_nfcd (symbolic link to ../init.d/csco_nfcd) On Solaris, rcdir is /etc; on HP-UX it is /sbin.

The record of this installation session is saved in /opt/CSCOnfc/logs/nfc_install.log.

Note When CNS Netflow Collection Engine is uninstalled from the system, you must remove these files yourself after the uninstall completes.

Installing on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Platform

Note When reinstalling the same or an earlier version of CNS Netflow Collection Engine than is currently installed on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform, you must first remove the currently-installed package by running rpm -e CSCOnfc.

To install CNS NetFlow Collection Engine Release 5.0 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform, perform the following steps:

Note During an upgrade installation, existing configuration files and data files are detected and moved to the directories NFC_DIR/config/old and NFC_DIR/logs/old, respectively.

Step 1 Log into the host as root.

Step 2 Perform one of the following:

a.If installing from CD-ROM, run setup.sh in the CD-ROM base directory.
