This article provides information on how to configure multiple analyzers on an EX8200 switch.

By default, only one analyzer can be set up on a normal EX switch; but on the EX8200 platform, there is the option to configure multiple analyzers, which is the maximum of 7.

The process of configuring the analyzers is quite different, when compared to the other EX switches.The first analyzer is configured the same way, as on other normal EX switches.

user@switch#set ethernet-switching-options analyzer Test input ingress interface ge-0/0/0.0
user@switcht#set ethernet-switching-options analyzer Test input egress interface ge-0/0/0.0
user@switch#set ethernet-switching-options analyzer Test output interface ge-0/0/1.0


1. First, a firewall has to be configured:

   user@switch#set firewall family ethernet-switching filter AAA term 1 from interface ge-0/0/2.0

2. Then you have to setup an analyzer that states only the output interface:

   user@switch#set ethernet-switching-options analyzer RED output interface ge-0/0/3.0

3. Now, you need to bind this to the firewall:

   user@switch#set firewall family ethernet-switching filter aaa term 1 then analyzer RED

4. The same needs to be followed to create the rest of the analyzers.
5. To check the number of analyzers on the switch, issue the following command:

   user@switch# run show analyzer
