NetFlow
Enable NetFlow on the Router
- Enter configuration mode.
- For every interface, run this command.
Set Up NetFlow Export
- Enter configuration mode.
- Run these commands.
On MLS switches, such as the 6500 or 7200 models, also run these commands.
You can verify that you have set up NetFlow correctly by running these commands.
Sample Flexible Netflow Configuration in IOS
IP SLA
IP SLA is a technology where a pair of routers can run synthetic tests between themselves and report detailed traffic statistics. This enables network administrators to get performance reports between sites without depending on end-host instrumentation.
Cisco provides detailed documents for configuring IP SLA for both general traffic and VoIP.
A variety of IP SLA tests can be run, for example UDP/ICMP Jitter, UDP Jitter for VoIP, UDP/ICMP Echo, TCP Connect, HTTP, etc. You can see the traffic statistics for these these tests by routing appropriate Show commands on the router. However, only these IP SLA tests are exported via
RTT-MON SNMP MIB.
UDP Jitter (reported by AccelOps event type PH_DEV_MON_IPSLA_MET)
UDP Jitter for VoIP (reported by AccelOps event type PH_DEV_MON_IPSLA_VOIP_MET)
HTTP performance (reported by AccelOps event type PH_DEV_MON_IPSLA_HTTP_MET)
ICMP Echo (reported by AccelOps event type PH_DEV_MON_IPSLA_ICMP_MET) UDP Echo (reported by AccelOps event type PH_DEV_MON_IPSLA_UDP_MET)
These are the only IP SLA tests monitored by AccelOps.
Configuring IP SLA involves choosing and configuring a router to initiate the test and a router to respond. The test statistics are automatically reported by the initiating router via SNMP, so no additional configuration is required. Bi-directional traffic statistics are also reported by the initiating router, so you don’t need to set up a reverse test between the original initiating and responding routers. AccelOps automatically detects the presence of the IP SLA SNMP MIB (CISCO-RTTMON-MIB) and starts collecting the statistics. Configuring IP SLA Initiator for UDP Jitter
Class-Based QoS
CBQoS enables routers to enforce traffic dependent Quality of Service policies on router interfaces for to make sure that important traffic such as VoIP and mission critical applications get their allocated network resources.
Cisco provides detailed documents for configuring IP SLA for both general traffic and VoIP,
The CbQoS statistics are automatically reported by the router via SNMP, so no additional configuration is needs. AccelOps detects the presence of valid CBQoS MIBs and starts monitoring them.
NBAR
Cisco provides protocol discovery via NBAR configuration guide.
Make sure that the CISCO-NBAR-PROTOCOL-DISCOVERY-MIB is enabled.

How CPU and Memory Utilization is Collected for Cisco IOS
AccelOps follows the process for collecting information about CPU utlization that is recommended by Cisco.
Monitoring CPU
Monitoring Memory using PROCESS-MIB
Monitoring CPU
The OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.8. The issue there are multiple CPUs – which ones to take? A sample SNMP walk for this OID looks like this
Note that there are 4 CPUs – indexed 1-4. We need to identify Control plane CPU and Data plane CPU
The cpu Id -> entity Id mapping from the following SNMP walk
Combining all this information, we finally obtain the CPU information for each object
The relevant OIDs are
Used memory OID = 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48.1.1.1.6
Free memory OID = 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48.1.1.1.5
Memory Util = (Used memory) / (Used memory + Free memory)

- Go to Configuration > SNMP Community > V1/V2 Community.
- Enter a Community Name.
- For MIB-View, select Operator.
- For Write-Access, leave the selection cleared.
- Click Add.
SSH/Telnet
- Log into the device manager for your ProCurve switch.
- Go to Security > Device Passwords.
- Create a user and password for Read-Write Access.
Although AccelOps does not modify any configurations for your switch, Read-Write Access is needed to read the device configuration.
- Go to Security > Authorized Addresses and add the AccelOps IP to Telnet/SSH. This is an optional step.

sFlow
Routing the sFlow Datagram in EX Series Switches
According to Juniper documentation, the sFlow datagram cannot be routed over the management Ethernet interface (me0) or virtual management interface (vme0) in an EX Series switch implementation. It can only be exported over the network Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports using valid route information in the routing table.
- Log in to the device manager for your JunOS switch with administrator privileges.
- Go to Configure > CLI Tools > Point and Click CLI.
- Expand Protocols and select slow.
- Next to Collector, click Add new entry.
- Enter the IP address for your AccelOps virtual appliance.
- For UDP Port, enter 6343.
- Click Commit.
- Next to Interfaces, click Add new entry.
- Enter the Interface Name for all interfaces that will send traffic over sFlow.
- Click Commit.
- To disable the management port, go to Configure > Management Access, and remove the address of the management port. You can also disconnect the cable.
