FCoE Transit
To enable the FCoE Transit feature and configure FIP snooping, use the following Dell Networking Operating System commands
on the C9000 platform.
In a converged Ethernet network, a switch can operate as an intermediate Ethernet bridge to snoop on 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 access control lists (ACLs) to permit only authorized FCoE traffic to transmit between an FCoE end-
device and an FCF.
