•
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.
•
To ensure that they are operationally active, check FIP snooping-enabled VLANs.
•
Process FIP VLAN discovery requests and responses, advertisements, solicitations, FLOGI/FDISC requests and responses,
FLOGO requests and responses, keep-alive packets, and clear virtual-link messages.
FIP Snooping in a Switch Stack
FIP snooping supports switch stacking as follows:
•
A switch stack configuration is synchronized with the standby stack unit.
•
Dynamic population of the FCoE database (ENode, Session, and FCF tables) is synchronized with the standby stack unit. The
FCoE database is maintained by snooping FIP keep-alive messages.
•
In case of a failover, the new master switch starts the required timers for the FCoE database tables. Timers run only on the
master stack unit.
Using FIP Snooping
There are four steps to configure FCoE transit.
1.
Enable the FCoE transit feature on a switch.
2.
Enable FIP snooping globally on all Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) or individual VLANs on a FIP snooping bridge.
3.
Configure the FC-Map value applied globally by the switch on all VLANs or an individual VLAN.
4.
Configure FCF mode for a FIP snooping bridge-to-FCF link.
For a sample FIP snooping configuration, refer to
FIP Snooping Configuration Example
Statistical information is available for FIP Snooping-related information. For available commands, refer to the
FCoE Transit
chapter in
the
Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide
.
FIP Snooping Prerequisites
Before you enable FCoE transit and configure FIP snooping on a switch, ensure that certain conditions are met.
A FIP snooping bridge requires data center bridging exchange protocol (DCBx) and priority-based flow control (PFC) to be enabled
on the switch for lossless Ethernet connections (refer to the
chapter). Dell Networking recommends
also enabling enhanced transmission selection (ETS); however, ETS is recommended but not required.
If you enable DCBx and PFC mode is on (PFC is operationally up) in a port configuration, FIP snooping is operational on the port. If
the PFC parameters in a DCBx exchange with a peer are not synchronized, FIP and FCoE frames are dropped on the port after you
enable the FIP snooping feature.
For VLAN membership, you must:
•
create the VLANs on the switch which handles FCoE traffic (use the
interface vlan
command).
•
configure each FIP snooping port to operate in Hybrid mode so that it accepts both tagged and untagged VLAN frames (use the
portmode hybrid
command).
•
configure tagged VLAN membership on each FIP snooping port that sends and receives FCoE traffic and has links with an FCF,
ENode server, or another FIP snooping bridge (use the
tagged
port-type
slot/port
command).
The default VLAN membership of the port must continue to operate with untagged frames. FIP snooping is not supported on a port
that is configured for non-default untagged VLAN membership.
