NetFlow Analyzer 5.0 supports only version 5 and version 7 exports. If NetFlow packets with any other version number are received, you will get a message in the UI that says “Receiving non-V5/V7 packets from the following devices: Click here for further details.” NetFlow Analyzer will ignore these packets and you cannot see any graphs or reports for the same. However, unless you manually stop the device from sending these flows, the message will stay on the UI.
