Flow parameter and configuration rules and limitations
30
• The destination device and egress port indicate the destination of the test traffic. For Flow
Generator, these should be the same port.
• The source is on the local switch, but the destination can be local or remote.
Bidirectional, and the advanced flow identification parameters (LUN IDs or Frame Type) are not
supported for Flow Generator.
Entering an asterisk for a flow identifier value causes Flow Generator to use all values for that
identifier. For example, if a specific WWN is used for the source device, and an asterisk is specified
for the destination device, Flow Generator will create flows from the source device WWN to all
destination device WWNs that are in the same zone as the source device.
Flow Mirror supported flow identification parameter combinations
Table 95 lists the supported flow parameter combinations for Flow Mirror.
Flow Monitor supported flow parameter combinations
Table 96 lists the supported flow parameter combinations for Flow Monitor.
NOTE
In the following combinations, an asterisk (*) is also supported as source and destination device
values for learning flows only on 16 Gbps-capable Fibre Channel platforms.
