FIP Snooping Configuration

In this example, as shown in Figure 22 on page 189, FCoE devices are connected to port 2 for the FCF device, and port 3 for an ENode. FIP snooping can be configured on these ports using the following ISCLI commands:

1.

Enable VLAN tagging on the FCoE ports:

 

 

 

 

 

 

RS G8124(config)# interface port 2,3

(Select FCoE ports)

 

RS G8124(config-if)# tagging

(Enable VLAN tagging)

 

RS G8124(config-if)# exit

(Exit port configuration mode)

2.

 

Place FCoE ports into a VLAN supported by the FCF and CNAs (typically VLAN 1002):

 

 

 

 

RS G8124(config)# vlan 1002

(Select a VLAN)

 

RS G8124(config-vlan)# member 2,3

(Add FCoE ports to the VLAN)

 

RS G8124(config-vlan)# enable

(Enable the VLAN)

 

RS G8124(config-vlan)# exit

(Exit VLAN configuration mode)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note – Placing ports into the VLAN (Step 2) after tagging is enabled (Step 1) helps to ensure that

 

their port VLAN ID (PVID) is not accidentally changed.

 

 

3.

 

 

 

Turn CEE on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RS G8124(config)# cee enable

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note – Turning CEE on will automatically change some 802.1p QoS and 802.3x standard flow

 

control settings and menus (see “Turning CEE On or Off” on page 192).

4.

 

 

 

Turn global FIP snooping on:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RS G8124(config)# fcoe fips enable

 

 

5.

 

 

Enable FIP snooping on FCoE ports, and set the desired FCF mode:

 

 

 

 

 

 

RS G8124(config)# fcoe fips port 2 enable

 

(Enable FIPS on port 2)

 

RS G8124(config)# fcoe fips port 2 fcf-mode on

(Set as FCF connection)

 

RS G8124(config)# fcoe fips port 2 enable

 

(Enable FIPS on port 3)

 

RS G8124(config)# fcoe fips port 3 fcf-mode off

(Set as ENode connection)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note – By default, FIP snooping is enabled on all ports and the FCF mode set for automatic

 

detection. The configuration in this step is unnecessary, if default settings have not been changed,

 

and is shown merely as a manual configuration example.

 

 

6.

 

 

 

Save the configuration.
