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 38. 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 (1/5/1), on an ENode
server-facing port (1/1/1), and to configure 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)
DellEMC(conf)# feature fip-snooping
Example of Enabling FIP Snooping on the FCoE VLAN
DellEMC(conf)# interface vlan 10
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-10)# fip-snooping enable
Example of Enabling an FC-MAP Value on a VLAN
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-10)# fip-snooping fc-map 0xOEFC01
NOTE: Configuring an FC-MAP value is only required if you do not use the default FC-MAP value (0x0EFC00).
