Hello Victor,

From what I understand, NetFlow, left in it's default state, only collects data inbound to an interface.

What are your exact NetFlow configs?

Regards,
Andre

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.
