Configuring NDE on 4000 Series Switches

Follow the steps below to configure NDE on a 4000 Series switches.

The 4000 and 4500 series switches require a Supervisor IV with a NetFlow Services daughter card(WS-F4531) and IOS version 12.1(19)EW or above to support NDE.

Configure this device as for an IOS device, but omit the ip route-cache flow command on each interface. Then issue the following command:

ip route-cache flow infer-fields

This command ensures routing information is included in the flows. You will not enter the ip route-cache flow command on each interface.
