Hi Adrian, list,

 

Many thanks for your ideas.

I found on a previous post  that adding the loopback IPs of the devices in the 
sources config might work:

 

'Device1'   => { 'port' => 'x', 'IP' => 'a', 'col' => 'y’ },

'Device2'   => { 'port' => 'x', 'IP' => 'b', 'col' => 'z’ },

 

I’ve done so and it’s working, so I wanted to share it with you :)

 

Regards/Saludos,

export port

 

I forgot to mention why it's a bad idea to cram all the traffic to one port - 
if you get a lot of UDP packets to the port you might overflow the port's 
buffer (each UDP port on linux has a maximum receive buffer) and you may loose 
flows because of this.

In theory yes - you can separate the data back based on exporter IP and 
exporter ID. But as far as I know exporter IP is not saved by default in the 
nfcapd file and you need to instruct nfcapd to save it. You should change your 
nfsen.conf file to something like:

'Device'   => { 'port' => 'x', 'col' => 'x, 'type' => 'netflow', 'optarg' => ' 
-T +13,+14' },

>From nfcapd's man page:

           13 Exporting router IPv4/IPv6 address
           14 Exporting router ID

%exp      Exporter ID

See man nfdump for details.

Hi list,

 

While NfSen distinguishes sources based on port as defined in nfsen.conf file…

'Device'   => { 'port' => 'x', 'col' => 'x, 'type' => 'netflow' },

 

Question: Is it possible to send netflow data from different devices using the 
same port and have NfSen splitting them in different channels as per the source 
IP info contained in the flow?

If the answer is yes, I would greatly appreciate if someone could share with me 
the way you have achieved this.

 

Many thanks in advance for your help & support.
