Deploying FCoE (FIP Snooping) on Dell Force 10 MXL
66
Step by step explanation of CLI example
o
service-class dynamic dot1p –
This sets the switch to globally honor dot1p priorities for traffic on
the switch.
o
feature fip-snooping
– This configures the global enablement of the FIP-Snooping feature on the
switch.
o
protocol lldp –
Sets the global enablement of LLDP on the switch.
o
default vlan-id 20 –
This established the default and native vlan for the switch (in this case 20 is
used).
o
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/1 – configure internal interfaces that connect to the blade
servers.
portmode hybrid –
configuring portmode hybrid will allow for the native VLAN untagged,
and a tagged VLAN to exist on the port together. This is similar to switchport mode trunk in
industry standard CLI.
switchport –
this configures the port as a layer 2 port.
protocol lldp –
this moves into the lldp protocol settings.
dcbx port-role auto-downstream –
with this command the port-role is established
as a dcbx capable downstream port to communicate with blade server CNA ports.
spanning-tree pvst edge-port –
configure port as an edge port for spanning-tree behavior
no shutdown –
configures the port as active.
exit –
exits interface configuration mode
o
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/43
port-channel-protocol LACP –
configures the port for LACP port-channel
port-channel 10 mode active –
sets the port-channel to 5 and sets mode to be active
protocol lldp –
this moves into the lldp protocol settings.
o
no advertise dcbx-tlv ets-reco –
this settings establishes that the ETS recommended
configuration TLV’s should not be advertised for manual type settings. Instead they
should be determined via negotiations
o
dcbx port-role auto-upstream –
with this command the port-role is established as a
dcbx capable upstream port to communicate with top-of-rack FCF switches such as the
Cisco Nexus 5000 series.
no shutdown –
configures the port as active.
exit –
exit from interface configuration mode
o
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/44
port-channel-protocol LACP –
configures the port for LACP port-channel
