Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your solution.

Yes that help a lot but I don't think that the Cisco Catalyst 2950
switches have support for NetFlow. I'm checking the user documentation for
this model and cannot read anywhere that it capable to support and provide
NetFlow. Let me know if I'm wrong here.

Gerhard,
