This section describes the configuration of traffic sampling for SDK applications. For more information on sampling in the JUNOS software, see the JUNOS configuration guides.
For routing platforms containing a MultiServices PIC, the existing interface statement at the [edit forwarding-options sampling family family output] hierarchy level is extended to allow you to use an interface of the ms type (ms-fpc/pic/port) to sample traffic passing through the routing platform. You configure this interface similar to the way you configure traffic sampling for a Monitoring Services or an Adaptive Services PIC.
As with regular JUNOS software, to configure traffic sampling on a PIC, you must complete three tasks: create a firewall filter, apply it to the logical interface on which you want to sample traffic, and enable sampling.
