There are only a couple timers you can adjust concerning netflow - at
least in 12.2 code.  12.3 or 12.4 may be different - check the IOS
context sensative help on your system.

ip flow-cache timeout inactive 10
ip flow-cache timeout active 1

There are several other settings I haven't had much use for -cache
entries and such.  Again, check your online help for info.  Lastly, make
certain "flow" switching is enabled on every interface - you can't just
put it on one...

I would compare the nTop overall stats with that reported by show int. 
I would also recommend validating the numbers using IPerf or similar
tool and perhaps ftp and http downloads of known file sizes.  From my
experience it's pretty close - close enough.

Also try running "show ip cache flow" and see if there's anything
interesting in there.

Hi there...
 
I just started using Ntop recently and am having a hard time
understanding the numbers that it is reporting.
 
We have three cisco routers sending netflow data to our ntop box.  Two
6509's and one 2821.  They are the three core routers in our network
(2
6509's for BGP upstream - 2821 for peering/downstream)
 
The Ntop is only reporting peaks of 30-40Mb/s network load etc.  and
the
amount of http traffic it's reporting is very low.... I presume this
is
something to do with the sampling rate in ntop OR could it be a config
option on the 6509 side??
 
Just looking for a little guideance... thanks...;)
