FIP Snooping
In a converged Ethernet network, an Aggregator can operate as an intermediate Ethernet bridge to snoop
on Fibre Channel over Ethernet Initialization Protocol (FIP) packets during the login process on Fibre
Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) forwarders (FCFs). Acting as a transit FIP snooping bridge, the switch uses
dynamically-created ACLs to permit only authorized FCoE traffic to be transmitted between an FCoE
end-device and an FCF.
This chapter describes the FIP snooping commands.
clear fip-snooping database interface vlan
Clear FIP snooping information on a VLAN for a specified FCoE MAC address, ENode MAC address, or
FCF MAC address, and remove the corresponding ACLs FIP snooping generates.
Syntax
clear fip-snooping database interface vlan vlan-id {fcoe-mac-
address | enode-mac-address | fcf-mac-address}
Parameters
fcoe-mac-
address
Enter the FCoE MAC address to be cleared of FIP snooping
information.
enode-mac-
address
Enter the ENode MAC address to be cleared of FIP snooping
information.
fcf-mac-address Enter the FCF MAC address to be cleared of FIP snooping
information.
