I guess it's not just your users speaking among themselves - but rather also
to the outside world. Are you interested to capture such off-net information?
In my experience the answer is typically no. If this is the case with you
aswell then i advice to read the following email (and the whole thread):

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01823.html

Even if based on sfacctd thoughts captured in there apply to nfacctd and
NetFlow no problems.

Define subnetwork - do you assign subnets to customers and are interested
in how much traffic these generate, ie. conversely you don't care about how
much specific IP addresses into such subnets generate? Meanwhile, i see you
miss the 'vlan' keyword on the 'aggregate' directive in your configuration.

I guess the comments above should already answer your questions, to start
with. Does the 4506 also route IP? Does it have BGP peerings - and if yes
how much of the routing table is advertised to it? Answer to these questions
can help afterwards with any issues you might encounter on the 'subnetwork'
part.

Cheers,
Paolo
