FIP Snooping Implications on Trunk Configuration
After enabling FIP Snooping if the user tries to configure a trunk containing
both uplink and downlink ports, the following confirmation message is dis-
played:
Trunks cannot contain both uplink and downlink ports when FIP Snooping is
enabled.
The above message is also displayed if after enabling FIP Snooping the user
tries to add an uplink port to a trunk with only downlink ports or vice versa.
If the user tries to add a FCF port to a FCF /non-FCF trunk, or an Enode port
to a non-Enode trunk, the following error message is displayed, as appropriate:
FCF ports cannot be moved to trunks.
Enode ports cannot be moved to trunks.
If the user tries to remove a port from a FCF trunk which happens to be the
last port of the trunk, then the following warning message is displayed:
Connections learned for FCF-MAC address <mac-addr> have been removed since
this trunk contains no more ports.
The following message is logged:
Connections learned for FCF-MAC address <mac-addr> have been removed.
In the above case, if the trunk is the last FCF port configured on the box, then
the following error message is displayed:
The last FCF-MAC address cannot be removed as FIP Snooping is enabled.
If the last port is removed from an Enode trunk the following message is
displayed to the user and logged:
Connections learned on Enode MAC <mac-addr> have been removed.
