Monitoring an edge-to-edge flow through an egress port identified by a proxy ID

In a network set up as shown in

on page 45, for a flow passing from Device B to Device A that

is egressing through EX_Port1, the source device (srcdev) is Device B′, the destination device (dstdev)
is Device A, and the egress port (egrport) is EX_Port1. (Traffic is running from left to right.)

The following example creates a flow that filters out frames passing from one edge fabric to another
edge fabric using a specific egress port on the backbone. The first two commands show the available
ports and the available Fibre Channel routers. The third command creates a Flow Monitor flow named
“e2e_dst_dcx” between device 01f001 and device 220200 egressing 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.
