set collector-port {integer}
set source-ip {ipv4-address}
set active-flow-timeout {integer}
set inactive-flow-timeout {integer}
set template-tx-timeout {integer}
set template-tx-counter {integer}
end
Parameter | Description | Type | Size | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
collector-ip | Collector IP - Seceon CCE IP Address | ipv4-address | Not Specified | 0.0.0.0 |
collector-port | NetFlow collector port number. | integer | Minimum value: 0 Maximum value: 65535 | 9995 |
source-ip | Source IP address for communication with the NetFlow agent. | ipv4-address | Not Specified | 0.0.0.0 |

To Configure Netflow, type the following commands on the console one after another. Make sure to replace <ipv4_addr> with CCE IP Address
config global Firewall (This step might not be required in some versions of FortiGate firewall)
config system netflow
set collector-ip <ipv4_address>
set collector-port 9995
end
To Enable Netflow, type the following
config system interface
edit <interface name> ....with all the interfaces to be configured
set netflow-sampler both
end
Verification
Verification can be done in two ways
On CCE:
Run the command on CCE server to check if you start getting logs and flows from firewall:
To check the logs :
sudo tcpdump -i any port 514 and host <Firewall IP>
To check the flows:
sudo tcpdump -i any port 9995 and host <Firewall IP>
On UI
STEP1: Login to UI >> SYSTEM>> LOGS AND FLOWS COLLECTION STATUS .
STEP 2: >> LOGS AND FLOWS COLLECTION STATUS .
STEP 3: >>Inside SOURCE DEVICE IP, IP will reflect.
