Hi Paul, Your understanding is correct; please note that by doing so you will achieve flow sampling at the collector (as opposed to packet sampling at the router). Although slightly different, please read a few thoughts on flow sampling in this recent thread:
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02974.html If possible, i would recommend to export twice from the routers, one export with a 1:1 sampler for your colleagues, the other with the sampler matching your needs for you.
