ASA – NSEL : Cisco bug in handling interface indices fixed in ASA 8.2(12)

Hello,

First we want to thank all our customers and prospects for their help in supporting NSEL. Last week our ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer support team was terribly busy in handling ASA customers and prospects. Most of customers who enabled ASA – NSEL, started complaining about the interface names and indices. Actually they did not match with the statistic they have reported. We have verified the code twice about handling interface indices and SNMP get. There was no change made recently for ASA.

Fortunately one of our community folk updated our forums about the Cisco bug in NSEL with a bug ID.

 “There is currently an ASA bug (ID:CSCtb63825) that will give you inaccurate information. The doesn’t use IfTable to store interface names, so NFA may report data for an interface that is actually sourced from a different interface. Cisco has informed me that this bug has been fixed in 8.2(12), but that the release is not available yet.”

Thanks
