Argus-info Digest, Vol 19, Issue 14

Hey Carter,

I think the host is not necessary, since it is socket wise for netflow data
to export to, even I need to collect different netflow source from different
network interfaces, the most important things is to export it to different
port. Hopefully my idea is right because currently what I'm doing is that I
export cisco netflow to different udp ports for example 9995, 9996 and so
forth and separate it by using argus client to write the netflow data to
different directory.

However there's one thing -

ra -CS 9995 works

but

ra -CS 1.2.3.4:9995 won't work

Since I get the right idea about it, I think host IP is not necessary but
just to mention here as it is not working for me, how about the others?

Cheers.
