Dell Force10 S4810P - FIP Snooping Restrictions; Configuration Procedure

412 | FIP Snooping
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
• VLAN membership:
• You must create the VLANs on the switch which handles FCoE traffic (
interface vlan command).
• You must configure each FIP snooping port to operate in Hybrid mode so that it accepts both
tagged and untagged VLAN frames (
portmode hybrid command).
• You must configure tagged VLAN membership on each FIP snooping port that sends and receives
FCoE traffic and has links with an FCF, ENode server, or another FIP snooping bridge (
tagged
port-type slot/port command).
The default VLAN membership of the port should continue to operate with untagged frames. FIP
snooping is not supported on a port that is configured for non-default untagged VLAN membership.
FIP Snooping Restrictions
The following restrictions apply when you configure FIP snooping:
• The maximum number of FCoE VLANs supported on the switch is 8.
• The maximum number of FIP snooping sessions supported per ENode server is 16.
• The maximum number of FCFs supported per FIP snooping-enabled VLAN is 4.
Configuration Procedure
You can enable FIP snooping globally on all FCoE VLANs on a switch or on an individual FCoE VLAN.
By default, FIP snooping is disabled.
To enable FIP snooping on the switch and configure FIP snooping parameters on ports, follow these steps:
