Hi Andre,Thank you very much for your kind answer. Maybe I wasn't clear in
my question....sorry.....my doubts are related especifically to Netflow....
to Netflow functioning.... I need to know if the normal behavior in this
case is to not see Outbound traffic through Netflow in the Standby router.
Just to add more data.... BGP on both routers is configured correctly, using
local preference and weight, so the preferred path always be the Primary
router (HSRP is only an add ).
I hope now is clearer and I can get some advise.
Thanks & Brgds.... Johan Victor.
