In an FCoE NPV configuration, only one session is supported perENode.• 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 notsupported on the MXL Switch.Configuration ProcedureYou can enable FIP snooping globally on all FCoE VLANs on a switch or on an individual FCoE VLAN.To enable FIP snooping on the switch and configure FIP snooping parameters on ports, follow these steps:Step Task Command Command Mode1 Enable the FIP snooping feature on a switch.Default: FIP snooping is disabled.feature fip-snooping CONFIGURATION2 Enable FIP snooping on all VLANs or on aspecified VLAN.Default: FIP snooping is disabled on allVLANs.fip-snooping enable CONFIGURATIONOrVLAN INTERFACE3 Configure the FC-MAP value used by FIPsnooping on all VLANs.Default: 0x0EFC00.Valid values are from 0EFC00 to 0EFCFF.fip-snooping fc-mapfc-map-valueCONFIGURATIONOrVLAN INTERFACE4 Enter interface configuration mode toconfigure the port for FIP snooping links.Note: By default, a port is configured forbridge-to-ENode links.interface port-type slot/port CONFIGURATION5 Configure the port for bridge-to-FCF links. fip-snooping port-mode fcf INTERFACECONFIGURATIONNote: To disable the FIP snooping feature or FIP snooping on VLANs, use the no version of a command;for example, no feature fip-snooping or no fip-snooping enable.
