Application Visibility and Control Using Flexible NetFlow (FNF)

Cisco IOS Software FNF is the next generation in flow visibility technology, allowing optimization of the network infrastructure, reducing operation costs, and improving capacity planning and security incident detection with increased flexibility and scalability. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 provides optimized application visibility with FNF across wired plus wireless. The switch is capable of 48,000 flow entries on 48-port models and 24,000 flow entries on 24-port models across wired and wireless. With UADP ASIC, Cisco Catalyst 3650 delivers next-generation flow technology with unprecedented flexibility and comprehensive visibility extending from Layer 2 (MAC and VLAN) to Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) flags and so on across wired plus wireless traffic. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 switch is medianet capable to provide visibility and troubleshooting capabilities across wired plus wireless video traffic. Specific medianet features will be enabled in future software updates.

The flow data collected by FNF can be exported to an external collector for analysis and reporting or tracked by the EEM. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 enables powerful on-box and customizable event correlation and policy actions with EEM, allowing the switches to trigger customized event alarms or policy actions when the predefined condition is met. With no external appliance required, customers are able to use existing infrastructure to perform traffic monitoring, making traffic analysis economical even on a large IP network.

The Cisco Catalyst 3650 supports Wireshark, the world's foremost network protocol analyzer, and is ideal for proactive debugging, troubleshooting and network performance monitoring. Using Wireshark, a user can capture control and data wired and wireless packets, easily displaying and analyzing them on a screen or a Wireshark GUI. Using Flexible NetFlow and Embedded Event Manager, a Wireshark packet capture can be initiated in events such as SYN flood attacks or abnormal bandwidth usage by specific users.

High-performance video over wireless integrates Cisco VideoStream technology to optimize the delivery of video applications across the WLAN.
