Description
Collect an aggregate of sampled flows and send the aggregate to a specified host system that runs the collection utility cfdcollect. Specify a host system to collect sampled flows using the version 9 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 only either version 9 flow record formats or formats using versions 5 and 8, not both types of formats.
Options
hostname—The IP address–IPv4 or IPv6–or identifier of the host system (the workstationeither running the cflowd utility or collecting traffic flows using version 9).
You can configure only one host system for version 9.
 | Note: IPv6 coniguration 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) output] hierarchy level. |
