Minimum Traffic Sampling or Forwarding Configuration

To configure traffic sampling, you must perform at least the following tasks:

  1. Create a firewall filter to apply to the logical interfaces being sampled by including the filter statement at the [edit firewall family family-name] hierarchy level. In the filter then statement, you must specify the action modifier sample and the action accept.
    [edit firewall family]
    filter filter-name {
    term term-name {
    then {
    sample;
    accept;
    }
    }
    }
  2. Apply the filter to the interfaces on which you want to sample traffic:
    [edit interfaces]
    interface-name {
    unit logical-unit-number {
    family family-name {
    filter {
    input filter-name;
    }
    address address {
    destination destination-address;
    }
    }
    }
    }
  3. Enable sampling and specify a nonzero sampling rate:
    [edit forwarding-options]
    sampling {
    input {
    family inet {
    rate number;
    }
    }
    }
