Table 20. Impact of Enabling FIP Snooping Impact MAC address learning MTU auto-configuration Link aggregation group (LAG) STP Description MAC address learning is not performed on FIP and FCoE frames, which are denied by ACLs dynamically created by FIP snooping on serverfacing ports in ENode mode. 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. FIP snooping is supported on port channels on ports on which PFC mode is on (PFC is operationally up). If you enable an STP protocol (STP, RSTP, PVSTP, or MSTP) on the switch and ports enter a blocking state, when the state change occurs, the corresponding port-based ACLs are deleted. If a port is enabled for FIP snooping in ENode or FCF mode, the ENode/FCF MAC-based ACLs are deleted. FIP Snooping Restrictions The following restrictions apply when you configure FIP snooping. • The maximum number of FCoE VLANs supported on the switch is eight. • The maximum number of FIP snooping sessions supported per ENode server is 32. To increase the maximum number of sessions to 64, use the fip-snooping max-sessions-per-enodemac command. • The maximum number of FCFs supported per FIP snooping-enabled VLAN is twelve. Configuring FIP Snooping You can enable FIP snooping globally on all FCoE VLANs on a switch or on an individual FCoE VLAN. By default, FIP snooping is disabled. To enable FCoE transit on the switch and configure the FCoE transit parameters on ports, follow these steps. 1. Configure FCoE. FCoE configuration: copy flash:/ CONFIG_TEMPLATE/ FCoE_DCB_Config running-config The configuration files are stored in the flash memory in the CONFIG_TEMPLATE file. NOTE: DCB/DCBx is enabled when either of these configurations is applied. 2. Save the configuration on the switch. EXEC Privilege mode. write memory 346 FCoE Transit
