918 FIP Snooping Commands
fip-snooping port-mode
To relay the FIP packets received from the hosts toward the Fibre Channel
Fabric (FCF), the switch needs to know the interfaces to which the FCFs are
connected. Use the fip-snooping port-mode command in Interface
Configuration mode to configure the interface that is connected towards
FCF. By default, an interface is configured to be a host-facing interface if it is
not configured to be an FCF-facing interface.
Syntax
fip-snooping port-mode fcf
no fip-snooping port-mode
Parameter Description
Default Configuration
The default behavior is configuration as a host-facing interface.
Command Mode
Interface (physical interface and port channel) Configuration
User Guidelines
It is recommended that FCF-facing ports be placed into auto-upstream mode
in order to receive DCBX information and propagate it to the CNAs on the
downstream (host-facing) ports.
Interfaces enabled for PFC should be configured in trunk or general mode
and must be PFC-operationally enabled before FCoE traffic can pass over the
port.
This command can only be entered after FIP snooping is enabled using the
feature fip-snooping command. Otherwise, it does not appear in the CLI
syntax tree.
Parameter Description
FCF Fibre Channel Fabric
