Enable FIP snooping on the S5000 switch, configure the FIP snooping parameters, and configure CAM
allocation for FCoE. When you enable FIP snooping, all ports on the switch by default become ENode ports.
Dynamic ACL generation on the switch operating as a FIP snooping bridge function as follows:
Port-based ACLs These ACLs are applied on all three port modes: on ports directly connected to an FCF,
server-facing ENode ports, and bridge-to-bridge links. Port-based ACLs take
precedence over global ACLs.
FCoE-generated
ACLs
These take precedence over user-configured ACLs. A user-configured ACL entry
cannot deny FCoE and FIP snooping frames.
The following illustration shows an S5000 switch enabled for FCoE transit and used as a FIP snooping bridge
in a converged Ethernet network. The top-of-rack (ToR) switch operates as an FCF for FCoE traffic.
Converged LAN and SAN traffic is transmitted between the ToR switch and an S5000 switch. The switch
