Example: Configuring FIP Snooping and Priority-Based Flow Control on an FCoE Transit
Switch on page 3587
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Initialization Protocol (FIP) snooping uses information
gathered during FIP discovery and login to create firewall filters that provide security
against unauthorized access to the FCoE forwarder (FCF) through the FCoE transit switch,
which here is the EX Series switch. The firewall filters allow only FCoE hosts that succeed
at logging in to the fabric to access the FCF through the transit switch. FIP snooping
provides security for the point-to-point virtual links that connect host FCoE Nodes
(ENodes) and FCFs in the FCoE VLAN by denying access to any device that does not
successfully log in to the FCF.
This example shows how to configure FIP snooping and priority-based flow control (PFC):

Overview and Topology on page 3588
Configuration on page 3589
Verification on page 3594
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
One EX4500 switch
Junos OS Release 10.4 or later for EX Series switches
One FCoE Node (ENode)
One FCoE forwarder (FCF)
