Passive Flow Monitoring System Requirements

To perform passive flow monitoring, your system must meet these minimum requirements:

  • Junos OS Release 8.5 or later for passive flow monitoring support on the MX Series MultiServices routers
  • Junos OS Release 8.4 or later for passive flow monitoring support on the MultiServices 400 PIC (Type 2)
  • Junos OS Release 7.6 or later to clear error and flow statistics with the clear passive-monitoring statistics command
  • Junos OS Release 7.5 or later for support of the dynamic flow capture (DFC) Management Information Base (MIB)
  • Junos OS Release 7.4 or later for dynamic flow capture on Monitoring Services III PICs installed in T Series and M320 routers, and port mirroring of IPv6 packets
  • Junos OS Release 7.3 or later for passive flow monitoring on selected Ethernet-based interfaces and filter-based forwarding on output interfaces
  • Junos OS Release 7.1 or later for passive flow monitoring and flow collection services on Monitoring Services II PICs installed in T Series and M320 routers
  • Junos OS Release 6.4 or later for support of the next-hop IP address field in flow monitoring version 5 records
  • Junos OS Release 6.2 or later for ATM2 intelligent queuing (IQ) interface passive monitoring, flow collection services, and MPLS label stripping
  • Junos OS Release 6.1 or later for MPLS passive monitoring
  • Junos OS Release 6.0 or later for the Monitoring Services II PIC
  • Junos OS Release 5.7 or later for the automatic insertion of autonomous system (AS) numbers and SNMP index values for interfaces into flow records
  • Junos OS Release 5.4 or later for the Monitoring Services PIC
  • M40e, M160, M320, MX Series, or T Series router with an Internet Processor II ASIC or later
  • Type 1 enhanced FPCs
  • Two optical splitters
  • A Tunnel Services PIC (required if you wish to send traffic to more than one analyzer)
  • An input interface from the following list:
    • SONET/SDH PIC—OC3, OC12, or OC48
    • ATM2 IQ PIC—OC3 or OC12
    • 4-port Fast Ethernet PIC
    • Gigabit Ethernet PIC—4-port with small form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP) or 10-port with SFP
    • 1-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet PIC with XENPAK
  • Outgoing PICs to connect to the flow collector or packet analyzer
  • Flow monitoring version 5 collector
  • ES PIC and packet analyzers (optional)
