FCoE Transit Configuration Example
The following illustration shows a switch used as a FIP snooping bridge for FCoE traffic between an ENode
(server blade) and an FCF (ToR switch). The ToR switch operates as an FCF and FCoE gateway.
Figure 44. Configuration Example: FIP Snooping on a Switch
In this example, DCBx and PFC are enabled on the FIP snooping bridge and on the FCF ToR switch. On the
FIP snooping bridge, DCBx is configured as follows:
• A server-facing port is configured for DCBx in an auto-downstream role.
• An FCF-facing port is configured for DCBx in an auto-upstream or configuration-source role.
The DCBx configuration on the FCF-facing port is detected by the server-facing port and the DCB PFC
configuration on both ports is synchronized. For more information about how to configure DCBx and PFC on
a port, refer to the Data Center Bridging (DCB) chapter.
The following example shows how to configure FIP snooping on FCoE VLAN 10, on an FCF-facing port (1/5),
on an ENode server-facing port (1/1), and to configure the FIP snooping ports as tagged members of the
FCoE VLAN enabled for FIP snooping.
