FIP Snooping

In a converged Ethernet network, an Aggregator can operate as an intermediate Ethernet bridge to snoop
on Fibre Channel over Ethernet Initialization Protocol (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 ACLs to permit only authorized FCoE traffic to be transmitted between an FCoE
end-device and an FCF.

This chapter describes the FIP snooping commands.
