Port-based
ACLs
These ACLs are applied on all three port modes: on ports directly connected to an
FCF, server-facing ENode ports, and bridge-to-bridge links. Port-based ACLs take
precedence over global ACLs.
FCoE-
generated
ACLs
These take precedence over user-configured ACLs. A user-configured ACL entry
cannot deny FCoE and FIP snooping frames.
The following illustration shows an MXL 10/40GbE switch used as a FIP snooping bridge in a converged
Ethernet network. The top-of-rack (ToR) switch operates as an FCF for FCoE traffic. Converged LAN and
SAN traffic is transmitted between the ToR switch and an MXL switch. The MXL switch operates as a
lossless FIP snooping bridge to transparently forward FCoE frames between the ENode servers and the
FCF switch.
