operates as a lossless FIP snooping bridge to transparently forward FCoE frames between the ENode servers
and the FCF switch.
Figure 42. FIP Snooping on an S5000 Switch
The following sections describe how to configure the FIP snooping feature on a switch that functions as a FIP
snooping bridge so that it can perform the following functions:
• Allocate CAM resources for FCoE.
• Perform FIP snooping (allowing and parsing FIP frames) globally on all VLANs or on a per-VLAN basis.
• To assign a MAC address to an FCoE end-device (server ENode or storage device) after a server
successfully logs in, set the FCoE MAC address prefix (FC-MAP) value an FCF uses. The FC-MAP value is
used in the ACLs installed in bridge-to-bridge links on the switch.
