Description
Configure a server to either:
-
Collect an aggregate of sampled flows and send the aggregate to a specified host system that runs the collection utility cfdcollect, or
-
Specify a host system to collect sampled flows using the version 9 or IPFIX format.
You can configure up to one version 5 and one version 8 flow format at the
[edit forwarding-options sampling family (inet | inet6 | mpls) output
flow-server hostname] hierarchy level. For the same
configuration, you can specify either version 9/IPFIX flow record formats or version
5/8 formats, not both types of formats.
Options
hostname—IP address–IPv4 or IPv6–or identifier of the host
system (the workstation either running the cflowd utility or collecting traffic
flows using version 9 or IPFIX).
Only host systems running IPv4 are supported on QFX10000 switches.
You can configure only one host system for version 9.
IPv6 configuration for flow-server is supported only in Junos OS Release 12.3
and later.
Note that when you configure an IPv6 address for the flow-server statement, you must also configure an IPv6 address for the inline-jflow source-address statement at the [edit forwarding-options
sampling instance instance-name family (inet
| inet6 | mpls | vpls | bridge) output] hierarchy level.
The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.
