Configuring Flow Exports on Meraki Devices

For NetFlow analysis, you need to configure your devices to export flows to Site24x7 On-Premise Poller, which is the NetFlow collector. The On-Premise Poller will be listening to the particular port to receive flows. Learn how to find the port number of your On-Premise Poller.

Configure NetFlow on the Meraki Dashboard by navigating to Network-wide > Configure > General. The NetFlow configuration settings can be found under the Reporting header and include the options below:

1. NetFlow Collector IP

This configuration option appears only if the NetFlow traffic reporting is set to "Enabled: send netflow traffic statistics."

It is used to configure the IPv4 address of the NetFlow collector.
In the Netflow collector IP field, please provide your Site24x7 On-Premise Poller IP found on the Network > NetFlow > NetFlow Devices(+) > Flow Export page of Site24x7.

2. NetFlow Collector Port

This configuration option appears only if the NetFlow traffic reporting is set to "Enabled: send netflow traffic statistics."
It is used to configure the UDP port that the NetFlow collector listens to.
In the Netflow collector port field, please provide the port of the network module found on the Network > NetFlow > NetFlow Devices(+) > Flow Export page of Site24x7.
