Configuring an edge-to-edge flow through an egress port using WWNs
Figure
monitors a flow from Device B to Device A egressing through EX_Port1 (traffic is running from right
to left).
The following procedure creates a flow (e2e_dst_dcx) that filters out frames passing from one edge
fabric (20:00:00:11:0d:e4:18:00) to another edge fabric (10:00:00:05:1e:e8:e2:00) using a
specific egress port (219) on the backbone.
1. Right-click the port (219) on which you want to monitor the flow and select Fabric Vision > Flow
2. Enter a name (e2e_dst_dcx) for the flow definition in the Name field.
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
6. Select the WWN option for End Device.
