Figure 41. 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.
• To provide more port security on ports that are directly connected to an FCF and have links to other
FIP snooping bridges, set the FCF or Bridge-to-Bridge Port modes.
