FCoE VLANs
Viewing FIP Snooping Information

G8264 Application Guide for ENOS 8.4
Optimized traffic flow is enabled for a single switch FCF as well as a stack. In a
stack, one or more members may have optimized flow entries installed based on
the configuration. You can view the installed optimized ACLs on the respective
switches.
Note: Optimized ACL entries cannot be installed on ports 53‐64, even when the
ports are in FCoE mode.
The following commands provide optimized traffic flow information:
To check the current state:
RS G8264# show fcoe optimizedforwarding status
To view a list of optimized ACLs:
RS G8264# show fcoe optimizedacls vlan <VLAN ID>
FCoE packets to any FCF will be confined to the VLAN advertised by the FCF
(typically VLAN 1002). The appropriate VLAN must be configured on the switch
with member FCF ports and must be supported by the participating CNAs. You
must manually configure the tag settings and the appropriate VLANs for the
Enode ports.
Note: If using an Emulex CNA, you must create the FCoE VLAN add the ENode
and FCF ports to that VLAN using the CLI.
The administrator must ensure that the VLAN configured for each FCF and its
ENodes are supported by the participating FCF and ENode CNAs.
Note: FCoE ports can have any native VLAN. Fibre Channel VLAN must not be
configured as the native VLAN for FCoE ports.
ACLs automatically generated under FIP snooping are independent of regular,
manually configure ACLs, and are not listed with regular ACLs in switch
information and statistics output. Instead, FCoE ACLs are shown using the
following CLI commands:
RS G8264# show fcoe fips information
RS G8264# show fcoe fips port <ports> information (Show FIP info for a selected port)
(Show all FIP‐related information)
