Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

After ECA is configured on a device, the ECA session flow table ages out after a certain period. The flow table that is aged out is encapsulated and then sent to the CIS server as metadata. Inactive flow aging of ECA requires the device to export statistics about the flows that persist for a short period. Once adding packets to a flow stops, the device exports flow statistics to conserve memory space.

Prerequisites

Before running this command, you must run the defence engine enable command to enable the IAE.
