Example: Sampling All FTP Traffic
The following configuration gathers statistical information about a moderate percentage of packets using FTP in the output path of a specific T3 interface, and collects the information in a file named t3-ftp-traffic.txt.
Create a filter:
[edit firewall family inet] filter ftp-stats { term ftp-usage { from { destination-port [ftp ftp-data]; } then { sample; accept; } } }
Apply the filter to the T3 interface:
[edit interfaces] t3-7/0/2 { unit 0 { family inet { filter { input ftp-stats; } address 10.35.78.254/32 { destination 10.35.78.4; } } } }
Finally, gather statistics on 10 percent of the candidate samples:
[edit forwarding-options] sampling { input { rate 10; } family inet { output { file { filename t3-ftp-traffic.txt; files 50; size 1m; } } } }
