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-congured ACLs. A user-congured 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 trac. Converged LAN and SAN trac 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.
