i have two entry level 100E and 100F. will enabling netflow on these fortigate slow down the performance of the firewall ?
Hello @yeowkm99 ,
If you are going to configure netflow, I think it will have a low impact on performance because netflow packets can be processed on the NPU side. But if you are going to configure sFlow, it will probably have a high impact on performance because sFlow packets can be processed on the CPU instead of the NPU.
