Creating the capture profile

config system sniffer-profile
    edit <profile_name>
        set filter {<string> | none}
        set max-pkt-count <1-maximum>
        set max-pkt-len <64-1534>
        set switch-interface <switch_interface_name>
        set system-interface <system_interface_name>
    end

        set filter none
        set max-pkt-count 100
        set max-pkt-len 100
        set system-interface mgmt
    end
