Configuring a backbone-to-edge flow through an egress port using fabric IDs
The following example creates a flow (b2e_src_dcx_fid) that filters frames passing from a
backbone fabric (128) to the edge fabric (100) using a specific ingress port (219).
1. Right-click the EX_Port (219) on which you want to monitor the flow and select Fabric Vision >
2. Enter a name (b2e_src_dcx_fid) 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 Port Address option for End Device.
7.
8. Enter an asterisk (*) for the destination port ID in the Destination field.
9. Select the Fabric ID option for FCR/XISL mode.
10. Enter the backbone fabric ID (100) in the Source field.
11. Enter the edge fabric ID (128) in the Destination field.
12. Select OK to save the definition.
