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).
Example of Configuring the ENode Server-Facing Port
DellEMC(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 1/1/1/1
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1/1)# portmode hybrid
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1/1)# switchport
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1/1)# protocol lldp
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1/1-lldp)# dcbx port-role auto-downstream
NOTE: A port is enabled by default for bridge-ENode links.
Example of Configuring the FCF-Facing Port
DellEMC(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 1/1/5/1
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/5/1)# portmode hybrid
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/5/1)# switchport
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/5/1)# fip-snooping port-mode fcf
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/5/1)# protocol lldp
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/5/1-lldp)# dcbx port-role auto-upstream
Example of Configuring FIP Snooping Ports as Tagged Members of the FCoE VLAN
DellEMC(conf)# interface vlan 10
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-10)# tagged tengigabitethernet 1/1/1/1
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-10)# tagged tengigabitethernet 1/1/5/1
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1/1)# no shut
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/5/1)# no shut
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-10)# no shut
After FIP packets are exchanged between the ENode and the switch, a FIP snooping session is established. ACLs are
dynamically generated for FIP snooping on the FIP snooping bridge/switch.
