Users Guide

• Global ACLs are applied on server-facing ENode ports.

• Port-based ACLs are applied on ports directly connected to an FCF and on server-facing ENode ports.

• Port-based ACLs take precedence over global ACLs.

• FCoE-generated ACLs take precedence over user-configured ACLs. A user-configured ACL entry

cannot deny FCoE and FIP snooping frames.

The below illustration depicts an Aggregator used as a FIP snooping bridge in a converged Ethernet

network. The ToR switch operates as an FCF for FCoE traffic. Converged LAN and SAN traffic is

transmitted between the ToR switch and an Aggregator. The Aggregator operates as a lossless FIP

snooping bridge to transparently forward FCoE frames between the ENode servers and the FCF switch.
