Important Points to Remember
• Enable DCBx on the switch before enabling the FIP Snooping feature.
• To enable the feature on the switch, congure FIP Snooping.
• To allow FIP frames to pass through the switch on all VLANs, enable FIP snooping globally on a switch.
• A switch can support a maximum eight VLANs. Congure at least one FCF/bridge-to-bridge port mode interface for any FIP
snooping-enabled VLAN.
• You can congure multiple FCF-trusted interfaces in a VLAN.
• When you disable FIP snooping:
– ACLs are not installed, FIP and FCoE trac is not blocked, and FIP packets are not processed.
– The existing per-VLAN and FIP snooping conguration is stored. The conguration is re-applied the next time you enable the
FIP snooping feature.
• You must apply the CAM-ACL space for the FCoE region before enabling the FIP-Snooping feature. If you do not apply CAM-
ACL space, the following error message is displayed:
Dell(conf)#feature fip-snooping
% Error: Cannot enable fip snooping. CAM Region not allocated for Fcoe.
Dell(conf)#
NOTE: Manually add the CAM-ACL space to the FCoE region as it is not applied by default.
To support FIP-Snooping and set CAM-ACL in the Z9500 switch, usecam-acl l2acl 4 ipv4acl 4 ipv6acl 0 ipv4qos

Enabling the FCoE Transit Feature
The following sections describe how to enable FCoE transit.
NOTE: FCoE transit is disabled by default. To enable this feature, you must follow the Congure FIP Snooping.
As soon as you enable the FCoE transit feature on a switch-bridge, existing VLAN-specic and FIP snooping congurations are
applied. The FCoE database is populated when the switch connects to a converged network adapter (CNA) or FCF port and
compatible DCB congurations are synchronized. By default, all FCoE and FIP frames are dropped unless specically permitted by
existing FIP snooping-generated ACLs. You can recongure any of the FIP snooping settings.
