FC Trace Route integration with Flow Vision

You can create a flow definition based on trace route data (forward routes, reverse routes, and FC
ping). For more information about trace route and ping, refer to

“Tracing FC routes”

on page 1588".

Creating a Forward Route flow definition

You can create a flow definition based on forward route data.

1. Select a row on the Forward Route tab in the Trace Route Summary dialog box.

2. Click Add Flow.

The Add Flow Definition dialog box displays with fields and options populated based on the
selected row.

Table 162
