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.
