FC Trace Route integration with Flow Vision
You can create a flow definition based on trace route data (forward routes, reverse routes, and FC
ping). For more information about trace route and ping, refer to
“Tracing FC routes” on page 1714".
Creating a Forward Route flow definition
You can create a flow definition based on forward route data.
1. Select a row on the Forward Route tab in the Trace Route Summary dialog box.
2. Click Add Flow.
The Add Flow Definition dialog box displays with fields and options populated based on the
selected row.
Table 101 describes how options are populated on the Add Flow Definition dialog box
according to the row selected on the Forward Route tab.
3. Complete the flow definition using one of the following procedures:
•
“Creating a Flow Monitor flow definition” on page 1140"
•
“Creating a Flow Generator flow definition” on page 1181"
•
“Creating a Flow Mirror flow definition” on page 1191"
