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.
