Notes: Before enabling IPFIX, the device must be configured for local management within the node. If the device is not locally managed, the IPFIX tab will not display in the WebUI.

  • Starting with ArubaOS 8.0.1.0, IPFIX supports wireless export. With wireless export enabled, data flows become unidirectional. You can define a new template to gather and export information about wireless clients, in addition to the standard attributes exported through the existing, pre-defined template. The wireless attributes include Station MAC, Station IP, Station SSID as well as AP MAC.
