Flow parameter and configuration rules and limitations
30
• An asterisk can only be specified for an end device source and destination for 16 Gbps switch
platforms.
• If you are using at least one advanced parameter (LUN IDs or Frame Type), then
feature-specific rules apply. Refer to the following links for specific details.
- Flow Generator supported flow identification parameter combinations
- Flow Mirror supported flow identification parameter combinations
- Flow Monitor supported flow parameter combinations
Refer to “Flow parameter support” on page 1041 for more information on switch platform, switch
configuration mode (such as Access Gateway), and Flow Vision feature limitations for flow
definition parameters.
Supported basic flow parameter combinations
Table 94 lists the supported flow identification parameter combinations for Add Flow Definition
dialog box fields.
Flow Generator supported flow identification parameter combinations
To enable Flow Generator, you must define one of the following parameter combinations:
• Source device, destination device, egress port
NOTE
You cannot specify both the ingress and egress port in a flow definition.
• Source device, destination device, egress port
• Source device, egress port
• Destination device, ingress port
• Source device, ingress port
• Destination device, egress port
Values for these parameters define the following:
• The source device and destination device values mark the content of the frame (the frame
Source ID and Destination ID as contained in the frame header).
• The ingress port and the egress port values represent the port IDs for the traffic flow
endpoints.
• The source device and ingress port values indicate the origination point of the test traffic. For
Flow Generator, these should be the same port.

Ingress Port
Egress Port • Both cannot be specified.
• Values can only be fixed value.
Source Device
Destination Device • Either one or both can be specified.
• Values can be fixed or “*” (“*” indicates all
matching flows)
