FCoE Transit Configuration Example

The following illustration shows an core switch used as a FIP snooping bridge for FCoE traffic between an

ENode (server blade) and an FCF (ToR switch). The ToR switch operates as an FCF and FCoE gateway.

Figure 39. Configuration Example: FIP Snooping on an Core Switch

In this example, DCBx and PFC are enabled on the FIP snooping bridge and on the FCF ToR switch. On the

FIP snooping bridge, DCBx is configured as follows:

A server-facing port is configured for DCBx in an auto-downstream role.

An FCF-facing port is configured for DCBx in an auto-upstream or configuration-source role.

The DCBx configuration on the FCF-facing port is detected by the server-facing port and the DCB PFC

configuration on both ports is synchronized. For more information about how to configure DCBx and PFC on

a port, refer to the

Data Center Bridging (DCB)
