That is task for on-band interfaces, which attach to your forwarding-logic.
No it isn't, any more than SNMP is a task for those interfaces.
To export flow, you need port to be connected to your forwarding hardware, not control-plane and certainly not OOB management-plane.
Again, the analogy is with SNMP. There's no requirement to be part of the data-plane, it's quite possible to get the flow telemetry to the management processor, same as with SNMP.
Cheack Cisco's "CMP" this is what we need.
I'm quite familiar with it, thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Luck is the residue of opportunity and design. -- John Milton
