Deploying FCoE (FIP Snooping) on Dell PowerConnect 10G Switches: M8024-k, 8024, and 8024F
14
Step by Step explanation of CLI example
o Configure – this brings the prompt into the configuration interface
o no mode simple – puts switch into normal mode
o vlan database - moves down into the VLAN database interface
vlan 20 – add VLAN 20 to used for untagged traffic or as the native VLAN
vlan 1000 - add VLAN 1000 to the VLAN database, this will be the FCoE VLAN
exit – exit the current level of the interface configuration
o hostname “mySwitch” – set the hostname of the switch in this example “mySwitch”
o feature fip-snooping - this turns on the fip-snooping capability of the switch
o vlan 20,1000 – this moves the interface into vlan 20,1000
fip-snooping enable – this enables the fip-snooping capabilities on these particular
VLAN’s. Both must be included for the initial TLV negotiation to establish the FCoE
VLAN
exit – exit interface configuration
o interface out-of-band – move into the interface out-of-band configuration interface
ip address 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.254 – this sets the out-of-
band management interface IP address, subnet, and gateway for the switch
exit – exit the interface configuration
o classofservice dot1p-mapping x x – establishes direct CoS mapping for the priorities (must be
in place for certain CNA’s
o interface te1/0/1 – this moves into the interface te1/0/1 configuration
switchport general pvid 20 – establishes the native VLAN as 20, you must remove VLAN
1 in order for this to function correctly
switchport general allowed vlan add 20 - adds VLAN 20 the trunk as an untagged VLAN
switchport general allowed vlan add 1000 tagged – this sets up a trunk with a tagged
VLAN of 1000 (the FCoE VLAN), and includes the native VLAN as untagged if general
mode is enabled.
switchport general allowed remove vlan 1 – this removes vlan 1 which would typically
be the native vlan otherwise.
switchport mode general – this enables the port for general mode
lldp dcbx port-role auto-down – sets the DCBx port-role to be auto-down for an ENode
connection
spanning-tree portfast – sets the ports to a portfast behavior since these are internal-
facing server ports.
exit – exits the interface configuration
