-This is not an "easy" port. You have to take many things into consideration,
-what flow data to collect (disk space, etc), how and when to remove unneeded
-flow files. And you have to know, what it is all about. If you don't know
-Cisco NetFlow switching and its data export feature, then I recommend you
-to deinstall this port.
-
-Prerequisites:
-A) You need to read the installation instructions closely, see:
- ${PREFIX}/share/doc/flowscan/INSTALL
-
-B) You need to configure your Cisco Router, to enable Netflow Switching
- and Netflow data export (version 5 flow export format).
-
-PLEASE NOTE, YOU HAVE TO KNOW EXACTLY, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO ENABLE NETFLOW
-SWITCHING ON YOUR CISCO CORE OR DISTRIBUTION ROUTERS, WHAT PERFORMANCE IMPACT
-MIGHT BE INVOLVED WHEN DOING THIS, WITH THE GOAL, NOT TO LOOSE YOUR ROUTING/
-SWITCHING PERFORMANCE. BE WARNED !!!
-
-C) You need to configure SNMP on your Cisco Router.
-
-Post-installation tasks involve:
-a) Configure cflowd properly for your needs, see above mentioned docu !
- Example files reside in ${PREFIX}/etc, files:
- cflowd.conf.example and cfdcollect.conf
-b) Configure flowscan, see above mentioned docu !
- Example files reside in ${PREFIX}/var/db/flows/bin, files:
- "foo".sample ...
-c) Customize and install crontab file, example see:
- ${PREFIX}/share/doc/flowscan/crontab.sample
-d) Activate flowscan startscript by renaming it as usual, see example in:
- ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/flowscan.sh.sample
-e) Create graphs using make by customizing the sample Makefile, see docu !
- ${PREFIX}/var/db/flows/graphs/Makefile.sample
- Please note, that the Makefile has to be reconfigured if you add
- or remove protocols in ${PREFIX}/var/db/flows/bin/CampusIO.cf !
