It may be nothing more/less than the bug report from R. West this morning.

Subject: [Ntop] Netflow [for dummies]

I've been playing with ntop for a few weeks recently, after several trials
before, and am starting to get a bit more serious about it, with varying
degrees of success.

I have ntop monitoring our border traffic, tracking only local hosts
(otherwise I quickly run out of memory/swap/horsepower), and getting a
reasonable picture of local traffic profiles.

Now I am trying to experiment with the netflow plugin, and have had very
limited success.  Our border router is a cisco 6500, IOS 12.1(26).  I am
most interested in tracking ASN traffic flow (yes, border is running BGP).
At one point, netflow plugin was reporting peer-as with a boatload of IPv4
endpoints, which was more detail than I wanted.  I changed this to report
origin-as, and tried to aggregate by ASN, and now I'm getting nothing.

Perhaps it would help for a 'dummies guide' to configuring netflow on the
border's IOS and the comparable ntop/netflow plugin settings to get started.
Currently I have:

> mls flow ip interface-full
> ip flow-export source Loopback0
> ip flow-export version 5 origin-as
> ip flow-export destination my.ntop.box 2055

> mls flow ip interface-full
> mls nde sender version 5

On the ntop side, netflow has IF address = Loopback0's subnet, and
Aggregation AS.

ntop Summary...Traffic for the netflow interface shows lots of traffic (gigs
and gigs!), but no Hosts, ASNs, or flows.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but it hasn't jumped up and bitten me
yet...
