FIP Snooping Commands

The Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Initialization Protocol (FIP) is used to perform the
functions of FC_BB_E device discovery, initialization and maintenance. FIP uses a separate
EtherType from FCoE to enable the distinction of discovery, initialization, and maintenance
traffic from other FCoE traffic. FIP frames (with one exception) are the standard Ethernet size
(1518 Byte 802.1q frame) whereas FCoE frames are a maximum of 2240 bytes.
This document describes 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, following recommendations in Annex C of FC_BB_5 Rev 2.00.
This allows for:
1. Auto-configuration of Ethernet ACLs based on information in the Ethernet headers of
FIP frames.
2. Emulation of FC point-to-point links within the DCB Ethernet network.
3. Enhanced FCoE security/robustness by preventing FCoE MAC spoofing.
The FIP Snooping Bridge solution in NETGEAR Managed Switch supports configuration-only
of perimeter port role and FCF-facing port roles and is only intended for use at the edge of
the switched network.
M6100 Series Switches
If unit/slot/port is specified, the TCG mapping table of the interface is displayed.
If unit/slot/port is omitted, the global configuration settings are displayed (these may have
been subsequently overridden by per-port configuration).
