Hi,
I have a little problem setting up Netflow on routers.
It seems like the timeout to remove unactive flow from the cache is too
low(15"), and I can't set it to a bigger value (say 5 minutes).
A good example is the bgp session. Depending on the time I execute a "show
ip cache flow", the bgp session is seen active or not, although it is always
active!
The problem is that if the router doesn't see any data on a flow during 15
seconds, it considers it unactive.
I included two outputs of "show ip cache flow" to show you the problem.
Thank you for any help!
