Configuring an edge-to-backbone flow through an ingress port using WWNs
, provides the values for and a diagram of the following example procedure which
monitors a flow from Device A to Device C ingressing through EX_Port1 (traffic is running from left
to right).
The following procedure creates a flow (e2b_src_dcx) that filters out frames passing from the
backbone fabric (10:00:00:05:1e:e8:e2:00) to an edge fabric (20:02:00:11:0d:51:00:00) using a
specific egress port (219).
1. Right-click the port (219) on which you want to monitor the flow and select Fabric Vision > Flow
> Add.
The Add Flow Definition dialog box displays with the following default criteria and flow
identifiers pre-populated:
•
Feature — Monitor
•
Direction — Bidirectional
•
Source Device — Source identifier
•
Destination Device — * (an asterisk allows you to use any port)
•
Ingress port — port number (219)
2. Enter a name (e2b_src_dcx) for the flow definition in the Name field.
The name cannot be over 20 characters and can only include alphanumeric characters or
underscores.
NOTE
For a physical switch, the name must be unique. However, for logical switches, the name does
not have to be unique.
3. Select the Source to Destination option for Direction.
4. Select the Persist over switch reboots check box to persist this flow definition over reboots.
5. Select the Activate all selected features check box to immediately activate the flow after
creation.
6. Select the WWN option for End Device.
7. Enter the port WWN (10:00:00:05:1e:e8:e2:00) in the Source field.
8. Enter the port WWN (20:02:00:11:0d:51:00:00) in the Destination field.
9. Select OK to save the definition.
When the flow definition activates, the Flow Vision dialog box displays with the new flow
selected (highlighted) in the Flow Definitions table. To review the sub-flow data for the selected
flow, refer to
