Flow Recognition Configuration
Flow recognition identifies the basic information of a flow based on the source MAC address, destination MAC address, and 5-tuple information, and sends the flow information to the controller for display and calculation.
Only the NetEngine 8000 F1A supports this feature.
- Overview of Flow Recognition
- Flow recognition enables a device to collect the septuple information (source and destination MAC addresses, source and destination IP addresses, source and destination port numbers, and protocol type) of the upstream traffic on an interface, and identifies a flow based on the information. The device then sends the flow's statistics (such as the numbers of packets and bytes, timestamps, and interface information) to a controller for display and traffic identification.
- Configuring Flow Recognition
- To allow a device to send the septuple information (source and destination MAC addresses, source and destination IP addresses, source and destination port numbers, and protocol type) of traffic to a controller for flow identification, enable flow recognition.
- Verifying the Flow Recognition Configuration
- After configuring flow recognition, verify the configuration.
- Configuration Examples for Flow Recognition
