Flow-Tap Application Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to flow-tap services:

  • You cannot configure dynamic flow capture and flow-tap services on the same router simultaneously.
  • When the dynamic flow capture process or an AS PIC configured for flow-tap processing restarts, all filters are deleted and the mediation devices are disconnected.
  • Only the first fragment of an IPv4 fragmented packet stream is sent to the content destination.
  • Port mirroring might not work in conjunction with flow-tap processing.
  • If the flow-tap application is configured, you cannot configure the filter action then syslog for any firewall filter running on the same platform.
