Configuring NetFlow on Cisco UCS Emulator

 

Using the below two links for documentation was able to setup NetFlow on a UCS Emulator (v2.2(3a)). See above result in UCSM. 

Cisco UCS Manager CLI Configuration Guide, Release 2.2

Cisco UCS NetFlow Support

Had to make a few slight adjustments to what is listed to cut and paste from Cisco UCS Manager CLI Configuration Guide, Release 2.2 and those are listed below. Looking forward to getting this working on a real UCS.
