It looks as though consistently 75-85% of flows get dropped with “Unknown 
Template” across all 20 of my Adtran Netvanta 3305’s.

My Cisco’s don’t drop any…

I’ve checked AOS (Adtran software) updates and errata and nothing is mentioned 
about NetFlow problems…

Would someone be willing to take a look at a pcap and see if the Adtran is 
formatting out of spec or if nTop is handling something incorrectly?

Can someone recommend another NetFlow server to try out and see if it has the 
same problem?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks…

I can try v9 flows from Cisco on 3.3.10 and see what happens.  My GUESS is 
Adtran is not formatting the records correctly.

Subject: [Ntop] Collecting NetFlow from Adtran Netvanta 3305 routers

I'm running nTop v3.3.9 and getting many Unknown Templates collecting from an 
Adtran NetVanta 3305 using Netflow V9 (Only version supported by this router).  
There is no configurability on the Netvanta, so I'm looking for ways on the 
nTop side to get it to recognize the templates.

Example statistics:

Configuration on the NetVanta is very basic:

ip flow export destination 10.100.0.143 2014 source eth 0/1

Any suggestions?  I'm willing to put effort into helping nTop recognize the 
Netvanta templates if someone can point me in the right direction...

Thanks...
