Flow Vision features
30
• If more than one flow has the same source, the ingress port transmitted frame count will not
match the egress port received frame count. In this case, if you want to match the transmitted
and received frame counts as one flow, you must add all the transmitted frame counts
together.
• N_Ports cannot be ingress or egress ports.
• L_Ports cannot be ingress or egress ports.
• A maximum of four flow generator flows is supported per port.
Refer to “Flow parameter support” on page 1041 for more information on Flow Vision feature
limitations for flow definition parameters.
Port characteristics
Ingress Port characteristics
The source port must meet the following criteria. If it does not, the flow will be rejected.
• The port must be a 16 Gbps-capable Fibre Channel port.
• The port cannot be in the base switch.
• The port can be set to long distance or F_Port buffer.
• The port should be a simulator (SIM) port.
Egress Port characteristics
The egress port must meet the following criteria. If it does not, the flow will be rejected.
• The port must be a 8 Gbps or 16 Gbps-capable Fibre Channel port.
• The port cannot be in the base switch.
• The port can be set to long distance or F_Port buffer.
• The port should be a simulator (SIM) port.
• The port cannot be any of the following:
- Compression port
- D_Port
- Disconnected port
- Disabled port
- E_Port loopback
- Encryption port
- EX_Port
- Fast write port
- F_Port trunked
