Subject: Re: Re: No data in ASPairs rrd files

I have tried with:
	ip flow-export version 5 peer-as
                               ^^^^^^^
but I have the same problem.

Maybe the cause about "No data in ASPairs rrd files", is the Nexthops
values.

In CampusIO report in NextHops parameters, I have inserted the IP address of
our AS peers.
Is it correct ?

If I try the command:

$ flowdumper -ne 'print "$nexthopip\n"' flows.current |head -10000 |sort -u

It shows a different list from values inserted in CampusIO report (except
one).
(Mind that some our peers, except one, are configured with " neighbor ....
ebgp-multihop 3")
This list shows many IP address that belong to our LAN and just one IP
address of our peer (the one without ebgp-multihop configuration).

In my router I have applied the command:

	ip route-cache flow

just on Ethernet Interfaces.

Thanks in advance
Alberto
