FIP Snooping

In a converged Ethernet network, a switch can operate as an intermediate Ethernet bridge to snoop on 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 access control lists (ACLs) to permit only authorized

FCoE traffic to transmit between an FCoE end-device and an FCF.
