Routing Engine–based sampling supports up to eight flow servers for both cflowd version 5 and version 8 configurations. The total number of servers is limited to eight regardless of how many are configured for cflowd v5 or v8.
When you configure cflowd-based sampling, the export packets are replicated to all flow servers configured to receive them. If two servers are configured to receive v5 records, both the servers will receive records for a specified flow.

Note: With Routing Engine–based sampling, if multiple flow servers are configured with version 8 export format, all of them must use the same aggregation type. For example, all servers receiving version 8 export could be configured for source-destination aggregation type. |
The following configuration example allows replication of export packets to two flow servers.
