Re: netflow on 6509 sup720?

Thanks for your answer.

I would like to capture all flows as you said. 
But the traffic is over 10Gbps, so I should use sampling to reduce 6509 CPU 
load.

And GigabitEthernet9/1(at below config) is serial interface connected with 
ISP backbone, and all out traffic is transferred through this interface.
and internal servers are divided with several vlans.
So should I execute "ip route cache-flow" command at all vlans to capture 
in and out packets?

Thanks again for your time..
