IPFIX works with the VPP +(Vector Packet Processing) backend to provide high-performance flow tracking. + +## Overview + +VyOS integrates VPP for high-performance packet processing. IPFIX +configuration controls how flows are monitored, exported, and which +interfaces are included. + +## Key IPFIX Concepts + +- **Active timeout**: Maximum time a flow is kept active before export. +- **Inactive timeout**: Maximum time an idle flow is kept before export. +- **Collector**: The remote host and port to which flow records are sent. +- **Flow layers**: Determines which layer information is included + (`l2`, `l3`, `l4`). +- **Interfaces**: Physical or virtual interfaces to monitor. +- **Direction**: Which traffic to monitor (`rx`, `tx`, `both`). +- **Flow variant**: Optional filter for IPv4 or IPv6 flows. + +## Configuration Options + +- **active-timeout**: Duration (in seconds) after which active flows + are exported. +- **inactive-timeout**: Duration (in seconds) after which idle flows + are exported. +- **collector \`\<ip>\` port \`\<port>\`**: IP and UDP port of the IPFIX collector. +- **collector \`\<ip>\` source-address \`\<ip>\`**: Source address for flow export. +- **flowprobe-record \`\<l2|l3|l4>\`**: Layers to include in flow records. +- **interface** `<interface>` **\[direction** `<rx|tx|both>`**\]** + **\[flow-variant** `<ipv4|ipv6>`**\]**: Interfaces to monitor, + direction of traffic, and optional flow variant filter. + +## Example Configuration + +```none +set vpp ipfix active-timeout '15' +set vpp ipfix inactive-timeout '120' +set vpp ipfix collector 192.0.2.2 port '4739' +set vpp ipfix collector 192.0.2.2 source-address '192.0.2.1' +set vpp ipfix flowprobe-record 'l2' +set vpp ipfix flowprobe-record 'l3' +set vpp ipfix flowprobe-record 'l4' +set vpp ipfix interface eth0 +set vpp ipfix interface eth1 direction 'both' +set vpp ipfix interface eth1 flow-variant 'ipv4' +``` |
