Flow Vision Features - Brocade Communications Systems WFT-2D User Manual

Flow Vision features

Flow Vision has three features: Flow Monitor, Flow Generator, and Flow Mirror. The following
sections describe each feature and provide links to a more detailed explanation and to step-by-step
procedures for each feature.
Flow Monitor
Flow Monitor provides flow monitoring and the gathering of frame statistics for fabric application
flows, including the ability to learn (discover) flows automatically. For a more detailed description,

example procedures"
To monitor a Flow Monitor, refer to
Flow Generator
Flow Generator simulates and generates test-load traffic in specific flows; this allows you to
validate hardware components, connectivity, and verify performance. For a more detailed
description, refer to
example procedures, refer to
Generator example procedures"
To monitor a Flow Generator, refer to
Flow Mirror
Flow Mirror provides the ability to non-disruptively create copies of application flow frames that can
be captured for deeper analysis. For a more detailed description, refer to
page 1189". For a general step-by-step procedure and example procedures, refer to
