Configuring Data Center Bridging Features 829
FIP Snooping Configuration Example
In this example, FIP snooping is deployed on a stack of two PowerConnect 
switches that are functioning as enterprise data center top of rack (ToR) 
switches. Two 10G ports on each stack member (ports 16 and 17 on each 
switch) connect to a pair FCoE-facing switches through redundant links. 
These ports are designated as default DCBx auto-upstream ports. The 10G

Enter interface configuration mode for the specified 
interface. The 
interface
 variable includes the interface type 
and number, for example tengigabitethernet 1/0/3.
You can also specify a range of interfaces with the interface 
range command, for example, interface range 
tengigabitethernet 1/0/8-12 configures interfaces 8, 9, 10, 
11, and 12.
fip-snooping port-mode 
fcf
Configure the interface to be connected to a FCF switch.
CTRL + Z Exit to Privileged EXEC mode.
show fip-snooping 
sessions
Display information about the active FIP snooping 
sessions.
show fip-snooping fcf 
[
fcf-mac
]
Display information about the interfaces connected to 
Fibre Channel forwarder (FCF). Use the optional 
fcf-mac 
parameter to display additional information about the 
session with the specified FCF device.
show fip-snooping 
enode [
enode-mac
]
Display information about the interfaces connected to 
FCoE end nodes (ENodes). Use the optional 
enode-mac 
parameter to display FIP snooping sessions between the 
given FCF-MAC and ENode-MAC.
show fip-snooping 
statistics {vlan 
vlan_id
 | 
interface 
interface
}
Display the statistics of the FIP packets snooped for all the 
FIP snooping-enabled VLANs or for the specified VLAN or 
interface. FIP session establishment sends some packets 
on the native VLAN (which are counted on the interface) 
and some packets on the FCoE VLAN (which are counted 
in the VLAN).
clear fip-snooping 
statistics {vlan 
vlan_id
 | 
interface 
interface
}
Clear the statistics of the FIP packets snooped for all the 
FIP snooping-enabled VLANs or for the specified VLAN or 
interface.
