Re: Re: Re: Sorting Cisco IP accounting data!

Talk to them. If the router can do it, they should be happy to do it for you. It's easier on the router to export them than for you to continuously connect to the console and dump them. That's easier loadwise. IMNSHO using the console for this type of thing is bad.

Setup on the router is 3 lines...

ip flow-export source Loopback0
ip flow-export version 5 origin-as
ip flow-export destination <your host> 2055

(plus turning on flow cache on the interfaces, but most
do that by default, big win.)

I would go so far as to say that if they wouldn't do this for you, Replace Them.

Hehe funny you should say that ZEN, we are replacing them. They are terrible. thanks for the info though and I will try to get it sorted out. We did get the sort funciotn done though and it does work pretty damn well. Yell if anyone wants to see the code. But you are right, not good to do the logon all the time :(. I'll talk to the muppets about Flow exporting, Thanks again, Baiul.	[reply]
