Configuring export in IPFIX (Netflow 10) [Документация VAS Experts]

Configuring export in IPFIX (Netflow 10)

NetFlow control can be changed by next setting:

netflow_full_collector_type=1
  • 0 - export in NetFlow5 format (default value).
  • 1 - IPFIX export to a UDP collector.
  • 2 - IPFIX export to a TCP collector.


The netflow_tos_format parameter defines the data format of the TOS field in IPFIX.

  • 0 - default value.
  • 3 - bit (priority only).
  • 1 - 6-bit (full DSCP).


The following is an IPFIX (Netflow v10) export template for IPv4.

Below is an IPFIX export template for an IPv6 protocl for IPv6. The following fields are missing from this template: SOURCE_IPV4_ADDRESS, DESTINATION_IPV4_ADDRESSs, POST_NAT_SOURCE_IPV4_ADDRESS, POST_NAT_SOURCE_TRANSPORT_PORT, – and contains the following fields:

Export template for IPv6
Num of bytes Data type IANA Description Note
27 16 int128 0 SOURCE_IPV6_ADDRESS NetFlow v9 analogy IPV6_SRC_ADDR
28 16 int128 0 DESTINATION_IPV6_ADDRESS NetFlow v9 analogy IPV6_DST_ADDR
To collect, process and store IPFIX we suggest using the QoE Store statistics module and DPIUI2 graphical interface.

For extended information in IPFIX format can be used any universal IPFIX collector, for instance - CESNET ipfixcol or our utility IPFIX Receiver.
