Figure 40. FIP Snooping on a Dell Networking Switch

The following sections describe how to configure the FIP snooping feature on a switch:

Allocate CAM resources for FCoE.

Perform FIP snooping (allowing and parsing FIP frames) globally on all VLANs or on a per-VLAN basis.

To assign a MAC address to an FCoE end-device (server ENode or storage device) after a server successfully logs in, set the FCoE

MAC address prefix (FC-MAP) value an FCF uses. The FC-MAP value is used in the ACLs installed in bridge-to-bridge links on the

To provide more port security on ports that are directly connected to an FCF and have links to other FIP snooping bridges, set the FCF

or Bridge-to-Bridge Port modes.

To ensure that they are operationally active, check FIP snooping-enabled VLANs.

Process FIP VLAN discovery requests and responses, advertisements, solicitations, FLOGI/FDISC requests and responses, FLOGO

requests and responses, keep-alive packets, and clear virtual-link messages.
