Configuring M, MX and T Series Routers for Discard Accounting with an Accounting Group
To perform discard accounting on specified traffic,
you can collect flow records with the accounting statement
at the [edit forwarding-options] hierarchy level. Like
sampling, your topology must be simple (for example, one input interface
and one export interface).
Again, you can collect flow records by specifying
input and output interfaces. You can configure the input interface
to perform discard accounting by applying a firewall filter that contains
the then discard accounting statement. This match condition
directs the filtered traffic to be converted into flow records and
exported for analysis by the monitoring services or adaptive services
interface. The original packets are then sent to the discard process.
For the output, remember to specify the IP address and port of your
flow server and the services interface you plan to use for processing
flow records.
You must configure a source address, but the engine-id and engine-type output interface statements are added automatically. You can override these values manually to track different flows with a single flow collector. SNMP input and output interface index information is captured in flow records by default when you configure discard accounting.
