Number of supported flows

On chassis-based platforms, Flow Vision supports a maximum of 512 user-defined flows. On
fixed-port platforms, Flow Vision supports a maximum of 128 user-defined flows. However, there is
a combined limit from all features of 64 flows (including static flows, root flows, and sub-flows,
whether active or inactive) for any one port. In addition, there are individual limits for each Flow
Vision feature;
no identical active flow.
Refer to the individual features for feature-specific restrictions.

Support for 16 Gbps F_Ports and F_Port trunks is provided on the following devices:
-
Switches: 24-port, 48-port, and 96-port 16 Gbps switches
-
Chassis: 4-slot and 8-slot 16 Gbps Backbone Chassis
-
Blades: FC8-32E, FC8-48E, FC16-32, FC16-48, and FC16-64
Disabling a SIM-port that is receiving traffic may produce Class 3 discards for the simulated
traffic; however, this will have no effect on other traffic flows.
