Associating Sampling Instances for Active Flow Monitoring with a Specific Packet Forwarding Engine

The Junos OS enables you to configure sampling instances for active flow monitoring, by specifying a name for the sampling parameters and associating the instance name with a specific Packet Forwarding Engine.

To configure active sampling instances, include the instance statement at the [edit forwarding-options sampling] hierarchy level. This configuration is supported on MX Series, M120, M320, and T Series routers. For more information about configuring sampling instances, see the Junos Services Interfaces Configuration Guide.

To associate a configured active sampling instance with a specific Packet Forwarding Engine, include the sampling instance name at the [edit chassis fpc slot-number] hierarchy level:

[edit chassis fpc slot-number]sampling-instance instance-name;

On a TX Matrix or TX Matrix Plus router, include the sampling-instance statement at the [edit chassis lcc number fpc slot-number] hierarchy level:

[edit chassis lcc number fpc slot-number]sampling-instance instance-name;
