FIP Snooping
To enable the FCoE Transit feature and configure FIP snooping, use the following Dell Networking
Operating System commands on the S4820T platform.
In a converged Ethernet network, a switch can operate as an intermediate Ethernet bridge to snoop on
FIP packets during the login process on Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) forwarders (FCFs). Acting as a
transit FIP snooping bridge, the switch uses dynamically created access control lists (ACLs) to permit only
authorized FCoE traffic to transmit between an FCoE end-device and an FCF.
clear fip-snooping database interface vlan
Clear FIP snooping information on a VLAN for a specified FCoE MAC address, ENode MAC address, or
FCF MAC address, and remove the corresponding ACLs FIP snooping generates.
