DELETE

Note: You must remove all references to a destination before you can delete the destination. Default
destinations may not be deleted.

DESCRIPTION
You can use this destination component to create IPFIX forwarding destinations for the common logging
interface.

The IPFIX protocol is designed for logging IP-transmission events. RFC 5101
() specifies the protocol, and RFC 5102
() describes the information model for IPFIX logs. IPFIX logs are raw,
binary-encoded strings with their fields and field lengths defined by IPFIX templates. IPFIX collectors are
external devices that can receive IPFIX templates and use them to interpret IPFIX logs.

EXAMPLES
create ipfix my_dest pool-name my_pool

Creates a destination named my_dest which sends IPFIX messages to the pool named my_pool.

delete ipfix my_dest

Deletes the destination named my_dest. Destinations cannot be deleted when in use by a publisher or another
destination.

list ipfix my_dest

Displays properties of the destination named my_dest.

OPTIONS
all Specifies that you want to modify all of the existing components of the specified type.

app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the destination belongs. The default value is
none.

Note: If the strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot
modify or delete the destination. Only the application service can modify or delete the destination.

description
A user defined description for this logging destination.

glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression
syntax.

name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete, and
modify.

pool-name
Specifies the LTM pool that receives messages from the IPFIX destination. This option is required for the
create command. The pool should contain one or more IPFIX collectors; use the "ltm pool" component to
set up an LTM pool.

protocol-version
Specifies the protocol version used to encode IPFIX messages sent by this logging destination. The
possible values are ipfix and netflow-9. The default is ipfix.

template-delete-delay
This feature is not implemented.

template-retransmit-interval
Specifies the time interval, in seconds, after which this IPFIX logging destination must resend all
active IPFIX Templates to the pool of IPFIX collectors.

The logging destination periodically retransmits all of its IPFIX templates at the interval you set in
this property. These retransmissions can be helpful if the transport-profile is UDP, a lossy transport
mechanism. They can also be useful for debugging a network session with a network analyzer, such as
Wireshark.

The default value is 30 seconds.

transport-profile
Specifies the name of a profile for the transport protocol to be used by this IPFIX logging destination.
You can use any existing TCP-based or UDP-based profile. The default value is the default udp profile.

You can use the ltm profile tcp command (see "ltm profile tcp") to create a TCP profile, or ltm profile
udp (see "ltm profile udp") to create a UDP profile.

serverssl-profile
Specifies the name of a server-side SSL profile to be used by this IPFIX Log Destination. The default is
not to use a server-side SSL profile. If one is specified, the IPFIX Log Destination must be configured
to use TCP as the transport protocol, and will use SSL over TCP to communicate with the configured IPFIX
collectors.

You can use the ltm profile server-ssl command (see "ltm profile server-ssl") to create a server-side SSL
profile.

regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at
sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for
a description of regular expression syntax.
