Figure 8. FIP Snooping on an Aggregator

The following sections describes how to configure the FIP snooping feature on a switch that functions as

a FIP snooping bridge so that it can perform the following functions:

• Performs FIP snooping (allowing and parsing FIP frames) globally on all VLANs or on a per-VLAN basis.

• Set the FCoE MAC address prefix (FC-MAP) value used by an FCF to assign a MAC address to an ECoE

end-device (server ENode or storage device) after a server successfully logs in

• Set the FCF mode to provide additional port security on ports that are directly connected to an FCF.

• Check FIP snooping-enabled VLANs to ensure that they are operationally active.
