No management port is revenue port, and will kill your flow export, if flow export is supported directly from the NPU. Because if it works, it means NPU has to _punt_ the traffic to control-plane, to export it. Where as if NPU supports exporting off the NPU, then exporting from non-revenue ports can be done without touching control-plane or stealing punt capacity. If flow is exported by the RE, it's much less important. I would personally not use any RE attached ETH port for any purpose. However I'd happily use ASR9k CMP port or Cisco 8k BMC port for out-of-band. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
