FIP Snooping
In a converged Ethernet network, the switch can operate as an intermediate Ethernet bridge to snoop on Fibre Channel over Ethernet
initialization protocol (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 ACLs to permit only authorized FCoE traffic to be transmitted
between an FCoE end-device and an FCF. The following Dell Networking Operating System (OS) commands are used to configure and
verify the FIP snooping feature.
Topics:
• clear fip-snooping database interface vlan
• clear fip-snooping statistics
• feature fip-snooping
• fip-snooping enable
• fip-snooping fc-map
• fip-snooping port-mode fcf
• show fip-snooping config
• show fip-snooping enode
• show fip-snooping fcf
• show fip-snooping sessions
• show fip-snooping statistics
• show fip-snooping system
• show fip-snooping vlan
clear fip-snooping database interface vlan
Clear FIP snooping information on a VLAN for a specified FCoE MAC address, ENode MAC address, or FCF MAC address, and remove the
corresponding ACLs FIP snooping generates.
Syntax
clear fip-snooping database interface vlan vlan-id {fcoe-mac-address | enode-
mac-address | fcf-mac-address}
Parameters
fcoe-mac-address Enter the FCoE MAC address to be cleared of FIP snooping information.
enode-mac-
address
Enter the ENode MAC address to be cleared of FIP snooping information.
fcf-mac-address Enter the FCF MAC address to be cleared of FIP snooping information.
