Monitoring an edge-to-edge flow through an ingress port identified by a proxy ID
In a network set up as shown in Figure 6 on page 45, for a flow passing from Device A to Device B
that is ingressing through EX_Port1, the source device (srcdev) is Device A, the destination device
(dstdev) is Device B′, and the ingress port (ingrport) is EX_Port1. (Traffic is running from left to right,
and the flow definitions are based on the Edge 1 Fabric’s perspective.)
The following example creates a flow that filters frames passing from one edge fabric to another edge
fabric using a specific ingress port on the backbone. Notice that this is running in port WWN (portwwn)
mode rather than device ID (deviceid) mode. The first two commands show the available ports and the
available Fibre Channel routers. The third command creates a Flow Monitor flow named
“e2e_src_dcx_wwn” between device 220200 and device 01f001 ingressing through port 219, and the
last command displays the results of the flow.
NOTE
The slash character (\) in the example indicates a break inserted because the output is too long to
display here as a single line.
