NetFlow traffic analysis has become an increasingly important factor when it comes to managing your network and keeping an eye on bandwidth utilization. So we designed a free network monitoring tool that makes it easier than ever before to get started with Cisco NetFlow!

SolarWinds NetFlow Configurator is an easy-to-use free network monitoring tool for remotely and quickly configuring NetFlow v5 via SNMP on supported Cisco® devices. The free NetFlow Configurator also facilitates setting up collectors for Cisco NetFlow data, specifying the ports on which the collectors are listening, and enabling monitoring of inbound and outbound (ingress/egress) traffic data per interface.

NetFlow Configurator is just one of several free network monitoring tools from SolarWinds that can aid you in performing NetFlow traffic analysis. Check out these other great NetFlow tools with FREE 30-day evaluations!

• SolarWinds NetFlow Real-time Tool, which is included in our award-winning Engineer's Toolset, is a real-time capture and analysis tool that stores up to one hour of Cisco NetFlow data on a single router interface. It displays interface inbound and outbound traffic separately for granular analysis and troubleshooting.
• Orion NetFlow Traffic Analyzer enables you to capture continuous streams of network traffic across multiple router interfaces and convert those raw numbers into easy-to-interpret charts and tables that reveal exactly how the corporate network is being used, by whom and for what purpose – enabling you to shut down the bandwidth hogs.

"We have been using SolarWinds' Toolset for several years now. Any network engineer would find it hard to function daily without using at least one utility in the Toolset. I am really happy and impressed by the functionality we receive from Toolset year after year."
