Mirroring traffic flowing to remote fabrics
Flow Vision allows you to mirror traffic that is flowing to a remote fabric.
To mirror traffic that is flowing to a remote fabric, in the flow definition you must specify the imported
port ID or real PWWN of the device in the other fabric.
The following illustration shows how such a mirroring situation might be constructed. In this illustration, if
the flow definition is made on Device A (a switch in Fabric 1), then you must use the imported port ID for
B′ to mirror to a port on device B in Fabric 2. If the flow definition is given in WWN mode, then the real
PWWN of Device B can be used instead.

The following example creates shows the proxy identifications and output of such a flow.
