The FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP) is used to perform the functions of

FC_BB_E device discovery, initialization, and maintenance as defined in the

ANSI T11 FC-BB-5 specification. The PCM8024-k switch supports FIP

snooping, which is a frame inspection method used by FIP Snooping Bridges

to monitor FIP frames and apply policies based upon the L2 header

information in those frames. For information about configuring the FIP

Snooping feature, see "Configuring Data Center Bridging Features" on

Cisco Protocol Filtering

The Cisco Protocol Filtering feature (also known as Link Local Protocol

Filtering) filters Cisco protocols that should not normally be relayed by a

bridge. The group addresses of these Cisco protocols do not fall within the

IEEE defined range of the 802.1D MAC Bridge Filtered MAC Group

Addresses (01-80-C2-00-00-00 to 01-80-C2-00-00-0F).

For information about configuring LLPF, settings see "Configuring Port-

Based Traffic Control" on page 687.

This feature permits Layer 3 Relay agent functionality in Layer 2 switched

networks. The switch supports L2 DHCP relay configuration on individual

ports, link aggregation groups (LAGs) and VLANs.

For information about configuring L2 DHCP Relay settings see "Configuring

L2 and L3 Relay Features" on page 931.

For information about configuring VLAN features see "Configuring VLANs"

on page 561.

VLANs are collections of switching ports that comprise a single broadcast

domain. Packets are classified as belonging to a VLAN based on either the

VLAN tag or a combination of the ingress port and packet contents. Packets

sharing common attributes can be groups in the same VLAN. The

PowerConnect M6220, M6348, M8024, and M8024-k switches are in full

compliance with IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging.
