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 trac to be transmitted between an FCoE
end-device and an FCF.
This chapter describes the FIP snooping commands.
Topics:
• clear p-snooping database interface vlan
• show p-snooping statistics
• debug p-snooping
• show p-snooping cong
• show p-snooping enode
• show p-snooping fcf
• show p-snooping sessions
• show p-snooping statistics
• show p-snooping system
• show p-snooping vlan
clear p-snooping database interface vlan
Clear FIP snooping information on a VLAN for a specied 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.
