flex-flow-sizing

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure support for the service creation of flows for inline services sampling. This configuration results in a first-come-first-serve creation of flows. Whichever flow comes first, that flow is allowed to occupy the flow table if there is space in the table. Otherwise, the flow is dropped and an error count is created.

Note:

You cannot also configure explicit flow table sizes because the flex-flow-sizing configuration statement and the flow-table-size configuration statement are mutually exclusive.

You do not need to reboot the FPC after replacing the flex-flow-sizing statement with the flow-table-size statement in the configuration.

Options

  • Default: 1K flows for IPv6 and VPLS flows each.

  • Range: 15 through 256K flows for IPv4.

Required Privilege Level

Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 15.1F5.

Note:

The flex-flow-sizing configuration statement is not supported on the MX204 router until Junos OS Release 17.4R2 or Junos OS Release 18R3. If you need to set the flow size for a release prior to those releases for the MX204 router, configure the flow-table-size statement. Configure the flow-table-size statement value within the range of 1 through 15. If the flex-flow-sizing statement is already configured, deactivate or delete the same. After you have configured the flow-table-size statement, commit the configuration and reload the device. For example, here's a sample configuration for the flow-table-size statement:
