FCoE Transit
Use Dell Networking OS commands to enable the FCoE Transit feature and configure FIP snooping on
the S5000 switch on Ethernet interfaces. When you enable an S5000 for FCoE transit, the switch
functions as a FIP snooping bridge.
In a converged Ethernet network, an S5000 switch 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 access control lists (ACLs) to permit only authorized FCoE traffic to transmit
between an FCoE end-device and an FCF.
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 generated by FIP snooping.
