Good morning folks,

I'm looking for advice on a freely available IPFIX probe/sensor for flow
export of our company's corporate firewall (Juniper SRX) traffic. An
unfortunate limitation of these firewalls is that J-Flow (Juniper's
version of Netflow) is unsupported when operating in an HA firewall
cluster (which we have). I could replace the firewalls with a pair of
OpenBSD firewalls, and would prefer this, however I'm unable to at this
point for reasons I won't get into.

I've setup port-mirroring on our Brocade ICX switch that monitors all
the SRX firewall interfaces and mirrors to an interface on an OpenBSD
5.4 server I setup to act as sensor/collector. I'd like to be able
promiscuously capture the mirror port traffic and export in IPFIX format
to something like NfSen/NFDUMP. The sensor solution needs to support
802.1q as we have several VLAN interfaces on the firewall so traffic
sampled from the mirror-port interface contains both tagged and untagged
traffic.

I've tried using softflowd exporting to flowd but it doesn't seem to
support 802.1q or IPFIX (yet). Any other suggestions or advice is
greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
-Chris
