XISL and Backbone E_Port monitoring
Flow Monitor provides support for both learning and static monitoring of fabric-wide statistics on both
XISL_Ports and Backbone E_Ports.
Output created using the flow --show command for a flow using an XISL_Port or a Backbone E_Port
displays actual device PIDs and the edge fabric FIDs for Edge-to-Edge traffic, and PIDs with reference
to the backbone fabric and backbone fabric FID for Edge to Backbone traffic. You can use this data to
estimate the logical fabric or inter-fabric utilization of an XISL_Port or a Backbone E_Port, as shown in
the following figures.
The following restrictions apply to XISL and Backbone E_Port monitoring:
• IFL flows cannot be monitored if the source fabric ID and destination fabric IDs are not specified. If
these are not specified, the devices will not be known in the backbone fabric and the flow will be
treated as a flow with end devices “offline”.
• Flows without the source fabric ID and destination fabric IDs specified will work only for flows on the
same fabric. IFL traffic will not be monitored (except in the case of Backbone-to-Edge flows, where
the flow is deemed to be in same fabric).
• Only the combinations specified in the following table can be configured.
