[Nfsen-discuss] looking for global configuration examples

[<ced...@gm...>]

Hello All,

Up to today, I just tried to work with live profile and analyse, filter or
list its content.
Now I'd like to use the profile function but I don't know how to configure
sources to create interesting graphs and profiles.

Here is the situation.
We have a big 6513 router connecting all internal Vlans.
One of this router interfaces is plugged (across a firewall) to our front
router (a cs7200 connected with a Gigabit interface on Renater).
Both are netflow enabled and, at the present time, my main sources in the
live profile.

So here is some questions :
- Have you an idea of the conf I should use (using samplicate and maybe
nfsplit) to get representative graphs in nfsen ?
- What the most used filters you use to manage your network ?
- Do I have to create a source containing only the output traffic and an
other input representative and how (nfsplit interfaces separation or other
method) ?
- How do you actually configure your routers, is only "ingress" traffic
collected or both "ingress" and "outgress" ?
- Which solution is the most effective ?

What else do we have to know ?


Thanks in advance for your answers. I think it could be usefull that the
nfsen-masters explain how they work to the newbee like me.
I'm a beginner in metrology science and dont know realy what are the
important things I should manage and supervise.
If an other newbee has other questions ideas, they are welcome :).

Bye
