Thanks for all the feedback all, it appears that the lack of sampling is
the problem.

Engine Type 2 and above cards don't do basic Netflow. You have to
configure "ip route-cache flow sampled" on the interface, and then set

ip flow-sampling-mode packet-interval <10-16382> <--this number means
that netflow will sample and capture one packet in ever <#> packets.

This command will show what version of Engine cards you have. sho diag |
include Engine
  L3 Engine: 0 - OC12 (622 Mbps)
  L3 Engine: 2 - Backbone OC48 (2.5 Gbps)
  L3 Engine: 1 - Standard OC48 (2.5 Gbps)
  L3 Engine: 1 - Standard OC48 (2.5 Gbps)
  L3 Engine: 2 - Backbone OC48 (2.5 Gbps)

or just a show diag [slot#]

Hello,

I have a 2 GSR 12008s with OC-48 and 8 port FE modules. Both of them
are configured almost identically, but one fails to export flow data
from the OC-48 card. When I connect to the slot and look at the flow
information, this is what I see:

LC-Slot0#sh ip flow export
Flow export is enabled

When I do the same on the one that is working, it looks like this:

They were running the same version of code, but I recently upgraded the
broken one to 12.0.19S1 to no effect. 'ip route cache flow' is set on
the interface.. Perhaps OC-48 line speed is too high for Netflow without
sampling?

Thanks in advance,
