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.
