Dell NetFlow

Question

I noticed on a new 5324 switch that we picked up that it supported netflow. Altho I don't see in any of the configuration or the documentation where to point the netflow traffic. Am I missing something here or is this something that Dell started to impliment but backed out of?

To my knowledge, Dell switches do not support netflow.

Thats wierd cause the 5324 with the newest firmware has an option to enable netflow. Maybe I will call dell support and ask what its for. Thanks for the info.

Where is the option to enable Netflow?

FastIron Edge X has sFlow, redundant hot-swap power/fan, and still a bit cheaper than C3570; although I've heard its sFlow isn't perfect. But Catalyst 6500/NetFlow is a big step up, so your options at the 1U/2U form-factor are limited.
