Is it by design, or a netflow requirement for a source IP?

Post by tecnalb »

When establishing a new source, I am required to provide a unique source IP. But what if I have multiple source flow devices, and wish to have my NNA on Amazon or some external cloud provider? I can't configure multiple sources "per network" due to this requirement.

As of this moment, that IP address is a place holder for future functionality. You could effectively give it a non-existant IP address and it would function fine. What is required is the port.
