Feature Fip-Snooping - NETGEAR M6100 Series Reference Manual

The role of FIP Snooping-enabled ports on the switch falls under one of the following types:
1. Perimeter or Edge port (connected directly to ENode).
2. FCF facing port (that receives traffic from FCFs targeted to the ENodes).
The default port role in an FCoE enabled VLAN is as a perimeter port. FCF facing ports must
be configured by the user.

feature fip-snooping

Use the feature fip-snooping command in Global Configuration mode to globally
enable Fibre Channel over Ethernet Initialization Protocol (FIP) snooping on the switch.
When FIP snooping is disabled, received FIP frames are forwarded or flooded using the
normal multicast rules.
When FIP snooping is enabled, FC-BB-5 Annex D ACLs are installed on the switch and FIP
frames are snooped. FIP snooping will not allow FIP or Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
frames to be forwarded over a port until the port is operationally enabled for PFC. VLAN
tagging must be enabled on the interface in order to carry the dot1p values through the
network.
