Juniper EX and QFX sFlow v5 configuration for FastNetMon Advanced

To enable sFlow v5 on Juniper EX or QFX you need to apply initial configuration for sFlow v5 agent on switch:

set protocols sflow polling-interval 30
set protocols sflow sample-rate ingress 1000
set protocols sflow sample-rate egress 1000
set protocols sflow source-ip [Local IP to send sFlow from your switch]
set protocols sflow collector [FastNetMon IP] udp-port 6343

Please note that EX and QFX switches allow you to configure multiple collectors

Then you need to enable sFlow protocol for interfaces facing your upstreams:

set protocols sflow interfaces et-0/0/xxx
set protocols sflow interfaces et-0/0/yyy

To ensure that configuration is correct we recommend checking sFlow agent configuration:

show sflow
sFlow                   : Enabled
Adaptive fallback						 : Disabled
Sample limit            : 300 packets/second
Sample limit threshold  : 150 packets/second
Polling interval        : 30 second
Sample rate egress      : 1:1000: Enabled
Sample rate ingress     : 1:1000: Enabled
Agent ID                : ...
Source IP address       : ...

And then we recommend checking per interface configuration which looks this way on EX platforms:

show sflow interface
Interface        Status      Sample rate    Adapted sample rate   Polling-interval
            Egress Ingress   Egress Ingress   Egress Ingress
ge-0/0/0.0  Enabled  Enabled  1000    1000    1000     1000            30

On QFX it looks different way:

show sflow interface
Interface  Status         Sample rate    Adapted sample rate   Polling-interval
              Egress Ingress   Egress Ingress   Egress Ingress
ge-0/0/13.0   Enabled  Enabled  1000    1000   1000    1000           30
ge-1/0/15.0   Enabled  Enabled  1000    1000   1000    1000           30
ge-1/0/20.0   Enabled  Enabled  1000     1000    1000    1000           30
ge-1/0/21.0   Enabled  Enabled  1000     1000    1000     1000            30
