Usage 
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.
