How to configure IPFIX collector

Solution

Juniper SSR (Session Smart Router) supports IPFIX, enabling you to leverage IPFIX records for traffic analysis by configuring an IPFIX collector and filtering traffic for specific tenants

 

Below is a configuration fragment that shows a representative sample on how to set up an IPFIX collector. (Consult with your IPFIX collector documentation to understand which ports and protocols it uses, as these can vary from vendor to vendor.)

 

Configuration -> Authority

IPFIX collection settings.

 

++ Filter the traffic to the “tenant     test" configured ,  to avoid a deluge of unnecessary traffic.
