FIP Snooping
Overview
In a converged Ethernet network, an MXL Switch 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.
The following FTOS commands are used to configure and verify the FIP snooping feature:
• clear fip-snooping database interface vlan
• clear fip-snooping statistics
• feature fip-snooping
• fip-snooping enable
• fip-snooping fc-map
• fip-snooping port-mode fcf
• show fip-snooping config
• show fip-snooping enode
• show fip-snooping fcf
• show fip-snooping sessions
• show fip-snooping statistics
• show fip-snooping system
• show fip-snooping vlan
clear fip-snooping database interface vlan
Clear FIP snooping information on a VLAN for a specified FCoE MAC address, ENode MAC address,
or FCF MAC address, and remove the corresponding ACLs generated by FIP snooping.
Syntax
clear fip-snooping database interface vlan vlan-id {fcoe-mac-address | enode-mac-address |
fcf-mac-address}
