Dynamic ACL generation on the switch operating as a FIP snooping bridge function as follows:
Port-based ACLs These ACLs are applied on all three port modes: on ports directly connected to an FCF, server-facing ENode
ports, and bridge-to-bridge links. Port-based ACLs take precedence over global ACLs.
FCoE-generated
ACLs
These take precedence over user-congured ACLs. A user-congured ACL entry cannot deny FCoE and FIP
snooping frames.
The following illustration shows a switch used as a FIP snooping bridge in a converged Ethernet network. The top-of-rack (ToR)
switch operates as an FCF for FCoE trac. Converged LAN and SAN trac is transmitted between the ToR switch and an S4820T
switch. The switch operates as a lossless FIP snooping bridge to transparently forward FCoE frames between the ENode servers
and the FCF switch.
