Supported port configurations for each feature

Table 151

lists the supported configurations for each Flow Vision feature using only the basic flow

parameters (ingress port and source device, egress port and destination device).

Notes on supported configurations

If you are using at least one advanced parameter (LUN, frame type, or bidirectional), then
feature-specific rules apply. Refer to the individual Flow Vision features for specific details.

Neither ranges nor lists are supported for any parameter.

Support for 16 Gbps F_Ports and F_Port trunks is provided on the following devices:

-

Switches: 24-port, 48-port, and 96-port 16 Gbps switches

-

Chassis: 4-slot and 8-slot 16 Gbps Backbone Chassis

-

Blades: FC8-32E, FC8-48E, FC16-32, FC16-48, and FC16-64

Disabling a SIM-port that is receiving traffic may produce Class 3 discards for the simulated
traffic; however, this will have no effect on other traffic flows.

Supported flow parameters

Table 152

lists the supported flow configuration parameters for the Flow Vision Generator, Monitor,

and Mirror features.
