Limitations for the SAN Fabric Discovery API

• There is no support for discovering M model switches.
Using the Traffic Flow API
The Traffic Flow API provides URIs for retrieving traffic flow information. Basically, in the context of a
specific FC Switch, you can get the flow definitions and the flows.
The flow definition and flow supports the minimum required properties needed to correlate with
the traffic flow summary data.
Using the Summary Data API
In support of Fabric Vision, Network Advisor calculates and publishes various kinds of summary
data. You can retrieve these summaries through the REST API. They can be obtained in the context
of a resource group, fabric, switch, or port.
The Summary Data API supports the URIs shown in the following figure.
