FCoE Transit Conguration Example
The following illustration shows an core switch used as a FIP snooping bridge for FCoE trac between an ENode (server blade) and an
FCF (ToR switch). The ToR switch operates as an FCF and FCoE gateway.
Figure 39. Conguration Example: FIP Snooping on an Core 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
congured as follows:
• A server-facing port is congured for DCBx in an auto-downstream role.
• An FCF-facing port is congured for DCBx in an auto-upstream or conguration-source role.
The DCBx conguration on the FCF-facing port is detected by the server-facing port and the DCB PFC conguration on both ports is
synchronized. For more information about how to congure DCBx and PFC on a port, refer to the Data Center Bridging (DCB) chapter.
The following example shows how to congure FIP snooping on FCoE VLAN 10, on an FCF-facing port (0/50), on an ENode server-facing
port (0/1), and to congure the FIP snooping ports as tagged members of the FCoE VLAN enabled for FIP snooping.
Example of Enabling the FIP Snooping Feature on the Switch (FIP Snooping Bridge)
Dell(conf)# feature fip-snooping
Example of Enabling FIP Snooping on the FCoE VLAN
Dell(conf)# interface vlan 10
Dell(conf-if-vl-10)# fip-snooping enable
