In the section, "Configuring Basic Options", on page 1587, add the following note after step 5,
bullet 1:
NOTE
You must enter the slot number and port number. For Backbone chassis, the slot number
cannot be 0 (zero). For switches, you must enter 0 (zero) as the slot number. For logical (virtual)
switches, follow the rule for the physical chassis (either Backbone chassis or switch) from
which you created the logical switch.
In the section “Flow Monitor,” on page 1605, modify the third paragraph and associated bullet
points as follows:
Flow Vision provides a single interface to manage flows and unifies different monitor functions,
such as end-to-end monitors and frame monitors. The Flow Vision collector polls the switch every
5-minutes. Flow Monitor provides the following monitors:
• End-to-end monitors: Measures the traffic in terms of word count between a pair of ports (host
and target) ports using a 5-minute sampling rate.
• Frame based monitoring: Measures the transmitted frame count through a port with specific
values in the first 64 bytes of a frame using a 5-minute sampling rate.
• ISL monitoring: Measures the traffic transmitted via an ISL to different destination domains
using a 5-minute sampling rate.
• Top Talker monitoring: Measures the flows that are major consumer of bandwidth on a port
using a 5-minute sampling rate.
In the section “Frame Monitoring Requirements,” on page 1623, change the book reference from
the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide to the Flow Vision Administrator’s Guide.
