Usage
Information
Sample-rate is the average number of packets skipped before the sample is taken. This command
changes the global default sampling rate. You can configure an interface to use a different sampling rate
than the global sampling rate. If the value entered is not a correct power of 2, the command generates an
error message with the previous and next power of 2 value. Select one of these two packet numbers and
re-enter the command.
