Specify how you want to determine and add new flows. For this, you have to define traffic counters 
between source and destination devices, via one of these options:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList2"><ul class="pSmartList2">
<a name="wp1287915"> </a><li class="pSmartList2">In a VSAN - For this option, click <span style="font-weight: bold">VSAN</span>.</li>
