www.dell.com | support.dell.com 96 | FIP Snooping FIP Snooping on VLANs FIP snooping is enabled globally on an Aggregator on all VLANs: • FIP frames are allowed to pass through the switch on the enabled VLANs and are processed to generate FIP snooping ACLs. • FCoE traffic is allowed on VLANs only after a successful virtual-link initialization (fabric login FLOGI) between an ENode and an FCF. All other FCoE traffic is dropped. • At least one interface is auto-configured for FCF (FIP snooping bridge-FCF) mode on a FIP snooping-enabled VLAN. Multiple FCF trusted interfaces are auto-configured in a VLAN. • A maximum of eight VLANS are supported for FIP snooping on an Aggregator. FIP snooping processes FIP packets in traffic only from the first eight incoming VLANs. FC-MAP Value The FC-MAP value that is applied globally by the Aggregator on all FCoE VLANs to authorize FCoE traffic is auto-configured. The FC-MAP value is used to check the FC-MAP value for the MAC address assigned to ENodes in incoming FCoE frames. If the FC-MAP value does not match, FCoE frames are dropped. A session between an ENode and an FCF is established by the switch-bridge only when the FC-MAP value on the FCF matches the FC-MAP value on the FIP snooping bridge. Bridge-to-FCF Links A port directly connected to an FCF is auto-configured in FCF mode. Initially, all FCoE traffic is blocked; only FIP frames are allowed to pass. FCoE traffic is allowed on the port only after a successful FLOGI request/response and confirmed use of the configured FC-MAP value for the VLAN. Impact on other Software Features FIP snooping affects other software features on an Aggregator as follows: • MAC address learning: MAC address learning is not performed on FIP and FCoE frames, which are denied by ACLs dynamically created by FIP snooping on server-facing ports in ENode mode. • MTU auto-configuration: MTU size is set to mini-jumbo (2500 bytes) when a port is in Switchport mode, the FIP snooping feature is enabled on the switch, and FIP snooping is enabled on all or individual VLANs. • Link aggregation group (LAG): FIP snooping is supported on port channels on ports on which PFC mode is on (PFC is operationally up).
FIP Snooping Prerequisites On an Aggregator, FIP snooping requires the following conditions: • A FIP snooping bridge requires DCBX and PFC to be enabled on the switch for lossless Ethernet connections (refer to Data Center Bridging (DCB)). Dell recommends that you also enable ETS; ETS is recommended but not required. DCBX and PFC mode are auto-configured on Aggregator ports and FIP snooping is operational on the port. If the PFC parameters in a DCBX exchange with a peer are not synchronized, FIP and FCoE frames are dropped on the port. • VLAN membership: • The Aggregator auto-configures the VLANs which handle FCoE traffic. You can reconfigure VLAN membership on a port (vlan tagged command). • Each FIP snooping port is auto-configured to operate in Hybrid mode so that it accepts both tagged and untagged VLAN frames. • Tagged VLAN membership is auto-configured on each FIP snooping port that sends and receives FCoE traffic and has links with an FCF, ENode server, or another FIP snooping bridge. The default VLAN membership of the port should continue to operate with untagged frames. FIP snooping is not supported on a port that is configured for non-default untagged VLAN membership. FIP Snooping Restrictions The following restrictions apply to FIP snooping on an Aggregator: • The maximum number of FCoE VLANs supported on the Aggregator is eight. • The maximum number of FIP snooping sessions (including NPIV sessions) supported per ENode server is 16. In a full FCoE N port ID virtualization (NPIV) configuration, 16 sessions (one FLOGI + fifteen NPIV sessions) are supported per ENode. In an FCoE NPV configuration, only one session is supported per ENode. • The maximum number of FCFs supported per FIP snooping-enabled VLAN is four. • Links to other FIP snooping bridges on a FIP snooping-enabled port (bridge-to-bridge links) are not supported on the Aggregator.
