Overview

Overview

The NetFlow Services Card adds NetFlow accounting to the Catalyst 4500 series. NetFlow accounting
collects statistics on a per-flow basis. A flow is defined as a source IP address, destination IP address,
IP protocol type, source Layer 4 port, and destination Layer 4 port. Without the NetFlow Services Card,
the Supervisor Engine IV on the Catalyst 4500 does not support NetFlow accounting.

The NetFlow Services Card is a configurable option on the Supervisor Engine IV for the Catalyst 4500
platform and is supported in a redundant supervisor configuration if both supervisors have a NetFlow
Services Card.

For information on configuring NetFlow accounting, refer to Chapter 27, "Configuring NetFlow
Statistics Collection," in the Catalyst 4000 Family IOS Software Configuration Guide.
