Error when configuring Netflow on NX-OSv "Record TEST has IP fields. L2 fields are not allowed"

[CiscoBrownBelt]

I am following the Cisco doc below however I keep receiving "ERROR: Record TEST has IP fields. L2 fields are not allowed"  when attempting to configure a Flow Record with "match datalink ethertype" however I only have the following configured for the record so far. I am using a NX-OSv in VIRL. The document does not state anything about configuring Netflow for L2 and L3 traffic. Any help?

flow record TEST
description IPv4Flow
match ip protocol
match transport destination-port

This error shows up when you're attempting to configure L2 commands on a L3 interface. You can only configure L2 Netflow on L2 interfaces, L3 on L3 interfaces. Here is an example for L3 interfaces.

feature netflow
flow timeout active 60
flow exporter NETFLOW_EXP
description \\Netflow Export//
destination <IP ADDRESS>
transport udp 2055
source <SOURCE VLAN>
version 9
flow record FLOW_RECORD
