A flow is a connection between an endpoint and Avaya SBC. Types of flows are:
Static: A static flow is configured on the Avaya SBC only one time. Static flows do not change until the administrator changes the flows. Static flows are used, for example, for connections between endpoints and an Avaya SBC signaling address.
Dynamic: A dynamic flow is a transient connection between an endpoint and Avaya SBC. Software creates, modifies, and deletes dynamic flows to support the transfer of media packets through Avaya SBC.
Many flows can exist on Avaya SBC simultaneously. To troubleshoot issues with Avaya SBC, you can use the showflow command to display flows with varying levels of detail.

Description
showflow is a root-level console command to display the flows that are currently active on Avaya SBC.
Syntax
showflow 310 flow-typedetail-levelfilter-ip
flow-type
The flow type can be:
detail-level
You can specify the detail level for dynamic flows. The detail level for all other flows is fixed. When levels exceed the default detail level 0, you can see the default flow information and also additional information for the flow. The detail levels for dynamic flows can be:
filter-ip
If you specify a filter IP address, the showflow command displays dynamic flows that use the IP address that you specified as:
An input or a packet source
An output or a packet destination
When you specify a filter IP address, the showflow command displays dynamic flows pertaining to an endpoint with that IP address. If you do not provide a filter IP address, the system displays all dynamic flows.
Example
The following example displays full details of all dynamic flows with 10.20.30.40 as a source or destination:
