FIP Snooping
In a converged Ethernet network, a Switch 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. The following Dell
Networking Operating System (OS) commands are used to configure and verify the FIP snooping feature.
clear fip-snooping statistics
Clears the statistics on the FIP packets snooped on all VLANs, a specified VLAN, or a specified port
interface.
Syntax clear fip-snooping statistics [interface vlan vlan-id |
interface port-type port/slot | interface port-channel port-
channel-number]
Parameters
vlan-id Enter the VLAN ID of the FIP packet statistics to be cleared.
port-type port/
slot Enter the port-type and slot number of the FIP packet
statistics to be cleared.
port-channel-
number Enter the port channel number of the FIP packet statistics to
be cleared.
