Configuring the Interface Profile

An interface profile specifies the information collected and written to a log file. You can configure a profile to collect error and statistic information for input and output packets on a particular physical or logical interface.

To configure an interface profile, include the interface-profile statement at the [edit accounting-options] hierarchy level:

[edit accounting-options]

interface-profile profile-name { 

    fields {

        field-name;

    }

    file filename;

    interval minutes;

}

Each accounting profile must have a unique profile-name. To apply a profile to a physical or logical interface, include the accounting-profile statement at either the [edit interfaces interface-name] or the [edit interfaces interface-name unit number] hierarchy level. You can also apply a accounting profile at the [edit firewall family family-type filter filter-name] hierarchy level. For more information, see the JUNOS Policy Framework Configuration Guide.

To configure an interface profile, you perform the tasks described in the following sections:

• Configuring Fields
• Configuring the File Information
• Configuring the Interval
