FIP Snooping Configuration Procedure
You can enable FIP snooping globally on all FCoE VLANs on a switch or on an individual FCoE VLAN in
bridge-to-FCF links. By default, FIP snooping is disabled.
Note: When you configure the S5000 as an NPIV proxy gateway and enable Fibre Channel capability
(
feature fc command), FIP snooping is automatically enabled on all VLANs on the switch, using the default
FIP snooping settings.
Only the fip-snooping max-sessions-per-enodemac command is supported to
configure FIP snooping.
