Traffic Mirroring for Netflow
-
Hi all,
First post here and I have a question for all you pf junkies out there.
What I want to know is that as far as I can see, pfsense doesn't have any support for Netflow, so, what I am thinking of doing is using it to mirror the data going from WAN to LAN and put it out optional 1 (or I will call it NFC aka NetFlowCapture) to send to a separate Netflow server. Basically I want to do this in order to make the system more redundant so I have the flow metering in parallel rather than serial.
What I was wondering is does pf have the capability to do this or not, and how can it be done?
Thanks for any help in advance guys.
Cheers,

Doesn't the pflowd (http://www.mindrot.org/projects/pfflowd/) package suit your needs?

Good find, was not aware of this one, should be nice if I can do it internally.
Now does anyone know of a good capture / billing system for Netflow? ;D
Cheers guys,

I think ManageEngines Netflow Analyzer offers 2 free collectors and includes free billing feature's
