Configuring Template ID and Options Template ID for Version 9 and IPFIX Flows

Starting with Junos OS Release 14.1, you can define the template ID for version 9 and IPFIX templates for inline flow monitoring. To specify the template ID for version 9 flows, include the template-id id statement at the [edit services flow-monitoring version9 template template-name] hierarchy level.

Note:

Template ID is implemented differently on SRX Series Firewalls. You cannot configure the template ID, instead you should assign the template ID dynamically.

To specify the template ID for version IPFIX flows, include the template-id statement at the [edit services flow-monitoring version-ipfix template template-name] hierarchy level.

To specify the options template ID for version 9 flows, include the options-template-id statement at the [edit services flow-monitoring version9 template template-name] hierarchy level.

To specify the options template ID for IPFIX flows, include the options-template-id statement at the [edit services flow-monitoring version-ipfix template template-name] hierarchy level. The template ID and options template ID can be a value in the range of 1024 through 65535. For PTX Series routers, if you do not configure the template ID or options template ID, the software assigns an ID in the default range of 256-511, and the ID is different for each template.

Considerations for MX and QFX Series

The template ID and options template ID can be a value in the range of 1024 through 65535. If you do not configure values for the template ID and options template ID, default values are assumed for these IDs, which are different for the various address families. If you configure the same template ID or options template ID value for different address families, such a setting is not processed properly and might cause unexpected behavior. For example, if you configure the same template ID value for both IPv4 and IPv6, the collector validates the export data based on the template ID value that it last receives. In this case, if IPv6 is configured after IPv4, the value is effective for IPv6 and the default value is used for IPv4.

Up to Junos OS Release 13.3R1, the default values of template IDs for IPFIX flows for the different protocols or address families are:

  • IPv4 IPFIX flow template ID—256

  • IPv6 IPFIX flow template ID—257

  • VPLS IPFIX flow template ID—258

  • MPLS IPFIX flow template ID—259

Starting with Junos OS Release 14.1R1, the default values of template IDs for version 9 flows for the different protocols or address families are:

  • IPv4 version 9 flow template ID—320

  • IPv6 version 9 flow template ID—321

  • VPLS version 9 flow template ID—322

  • MPLS version 9 flow template ID—323

Up to Junos OS Release 13.3R1, the default values of options template IDs for IPFIX flows for the different protocols or address families are:

  • IPv4 IPFIX flow options template ID—512

  • IPv6 IPFIX flow options template ID—513

  • VPLS IPFIX flow options template ID—514

  • MPLS IPFIX flow options template ID—515

Starting with Junos OS Release 14.1R1, the default values of options template IDs for version 9 flows for the different protocols or address families are:

  • IPv4 version 9 flow options template ID—576

  • IPv6 version 9 flow options template ID—577

  • VPLS version 9 flow options template ID—578

  • MPLS version 9 flow options template ID—579

Considerations for PTX Series

If you choose to configure the template ID and options template ID, the range is 1024 to 65520. If you do not configure these IDs, the default values that are set are in the range 256-511 and are different for each template.

You can configure the template-id and option-template-id statements for family inet, inet6, and mpls only.

You must not configure the same IDs for different templates (option or data template).

Note:

The operating system does not check to ensure that you do not configure the same ID value for different templates. If you configure the same ID value, such a setting is not processed properly and might cause unexpected behavior.

The template ID or options template ID range [configured template-id or options-template-id value + 20) is reserved and you must not configure any another ID in this range. The difference between configured template IDs or options template IDs across families should be at least 20; for example, if template-id 1056 is configured for family inet, you should not configure template IDs in the range of 1056 to 1075 for any other families.

For Junos OS, if you change the template ID or options template ID, all flows are inactively timed out. New flows are learned afresh.

For Junos OS Evolved, if you change the template ID or options template ID, this change does not impact the flows.

Table 4 summarizes the data and option template ID values that correspond to configured values for template IDs, by family.
