FIP Snooping

Overview

In a converged Ethernet network, an Aggregator can operate as an intermediate Ethernet bridge to
snoop on Fibre Channel over Ethernet Initialization Protocol (FIP) packets during the login process on
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) forwarders (FCFs). Acting as a transit FIP snooping bridge, the
switch uses dynamically-created ACLs to permit only authorized FCoE traffic to be transmitted
between an FCoE end-device and an FCF.
