Customizing Flow Generator flows

After you define a Generator flow, you can further customize the flow by specifying the frame
payload size and pattern to be used for the flow.
If you customize an active flow, first the Management application deactivates the flow, then
reconfigures the frame payload size and pattern, and finally reactives the flow. Inactive flows are
reconfigured, but not reactivated.
To specify the frame payload size and pattern for a Generator flow, complete the following steps.
1. Select the device on which you defined the flow and select Monitor > Fabric Vision > Flow >
2. Select the Generator flow that you want to customize in the Flow Definitions table.
