Examples of Flow Cloner Configuration Files

The following examples show the contents of a modified FlowCloneDef.ini file for a single-NIC server and for a multiple-NIC server environment.

Example: Default Input NIC and Port

In this example, the Flow Cloner uses the first available NIC to send the cloned data to hosts 192.100.0.100 and 192.160.0.140. The destination hosts listen for the data on UDP port 9995.

The example has a line for each host who receives the cloned data. These lines begin with the /dest ip= token, followed by the host IP address. A semicolon is used at the beginning of any comments that you want to include at the end of each line.

/use defaults; take default setup
/dest ip=192.100.0.100; send cloned packets to ddev1
/dest ip=192.160.0.100; send cloned packets to gdev3

Example: Custom Input NIC and Port

In this example, the Flow Cloner uses a specified NIC (10.0.0.100) to send the cloned data to the hosts (10.0.0.100, 192.100.0.100, and 192.160.0.100). The destination hosts listen for the data on UDP port 9994.

/listen ip=190.0.0.100; Use 190.0.0.100 to send the cloned packets /port=9994; Listen on port 9994 instead of the default port 9995
/dest ip=10.0.0.100 ; send cloned packets to to 10.0.0.100
/dest ip=192.100.0.100; send cloned packets to ddev1
/dest ip=192.160.0.100; send cloned packets to gdev3
