Dynamic ACL generation on the switch operating as a FIP snooping bridge function as follows:

Port-based ACLs

These ACLs are applied on all three port modes: on ports directly connected to an FCF, server-facing ENode

ports, and bridge-to-bridge links. Port-based ACLs take precedence over global ACLs.

FCoE-generated

These take precedence over user-configured ACLs. A user-configured ACL entry cannot deny FCoE and FIP

snooping frames.

The following illustration shows a switch used as a FIP snooping bridge in a converged Ethernet network. The top-of-rack (ToR)

switch operates as an FCF for FCoE traffic. Converged LAN and SAN traffic is transmitted between the ToR switch and an S4048–

ON switch.The switch operates as a lossless FIP snooping bridge to transparently forward FCoE frames between the ENode servers

and the FCF switch.
