Configuring the Flow-Monitoring Interface

To direct traffic to a flow-monitoring interface, include the interface statement at the [edit forwarding-options monitoring name output] hierarchy level. By default, the JUNOS software automatically assigns values for the engine-id and engine-type statements:

The source-address statement specifies the traffic source for transmission of cflowd information; you must configure it manually. If you provide a different source-address statement for each monitoring services output interface, you can track which interface processes a particular cflowd record.

By default, the input-interface-index value is the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) index of the input interface. You can override the default by including a specific value. The input-interface-index and output-interface-index values are exported in fields present in the cflowd version 5 flow format.

Note: On J-series platforms, cflowd sampling in the input direction of an interface reports the output interface index as 0.
