The following figure provides the port WWN values for the physical devices and port WWNs.

Monitoring an edge-to-edge flow through an ingress port identified by a WWN
In a network set up as shown in
on page 41, for a flow passing from Device A to Device B that
is ingressing through EX_Port1, the source device (srcdev) is port “WWN a”, the destination device
(dstdev) is port “WWN b”, and the ingress port (ingrport) is EX_Port1. (Traffic is running from right to
left, and the flow definitions are based on the Edge 1 Fabric’s perspective.)
The following example creates a flow that filters frames passing from one edge fabric to another edge
fabric using a specific ingress port on the backbone. The first command shows the available ports and
the available Fibre Channel routers. The second command creates a Flow Monitor flow named
“e2e_src_dcx_wwn” between device 10:00:00:05:1e:e8:e2:00 and device 20:00:00:11:0d:e4:18:00
ingressing through port 219, and the last command displays the results of the flow.
NOTE
The slash character (\) in the example indicates a break inserted because the output is too long to
display here as a single line.
