Have they abandoned that? $Earlier versions of IOS on 7200s required a
(pricey!) netflow license.
Most IOS versions I've encountered in recent memory do not require a
Netflow license.
... and I wouldn't be surprised to see extra licenses for netflow on
the ES line cards and for $anythingonCRS1...
From what we hear from colleagues that got CRS1, Cisco is fully back in
"need extra licenses for anything!" land now - *plus* "the hardware
enforces licenses" *and* "their license management is seriously fubared"
(this is how the story goes: power outage, CRS-1 came back without any
valid licenses, took TAC a week to restore licenses). Well, colleagues
have learned, and will never ever buy anything again that requires
licenses to be stored on the device...
I don't know about the CRS1, but I know on the Nexus 7000s, there is a
separate Layer 3 license that needs to be purchased, unless you just want
it to be a big layer 2 switch. There might be other licenses needed as
well. I don't know if Netflow v9 is a separate license. Netflow v5
appears to be part of the of the Layer 3 license in NX-OS.
