Brocade Flow Vision Administrators Guide (Supporting Fabric OS v7.3.0) - Manual (Page 19)

Supported port configurations for each application
The following table lists the supported configurations for each Flow Vision feature that can be made
using only the basic flow identification parameters (ingrport and srcdev, egrport and dstdev).
Port configurations supported in Flow Vision TABLE 4

Notes on supported configurations
• Neither ranges nor lists are supported for any parameter.
• If you are using at least one advanced parameter (lun, frametype, or bidir), then feature-specific rules
apply. Refer to the individual Flow Vision features for specific details.
• Support for Gen 5 F_Ports and F_Port trunks is provided on the following devices:
‐ Switches: Brocade 6505, 6510, 6520, DCX 8510-4 and DCX 8510-8
‐ Blades: CR16-4, CR16-8, FC8-32E, FC8-48E, FC16-32, FC16-48, and FC16-64
‐ Disabling a SIM port that is receiving traffic may produce class 3 discards for the simulated
traffic; however, this will have no effect on other traffic flows.
Flow frametype parameters
Frame monitoring can be done for a variety of frames using predefined frametype parameters.
The following table lists these parameters and the type of frames counted for each.
Supported frametype parameters TABLE 5

abts Abort Sequence
baacc All frames accepted
barjt All frames rejected
scsi All SCSI frames (including both command and data frames)
scsiread Only SCSI read command frames
