Deploying FCoE (FIP Snooping) on Dell PowerConnect 10G Switches: M8024-k, 8024, and 8024F

With the
SHOW SPANNING-TREE BLOCKEDPORTS command the status of ports that may be impacted by
spanning tree can be checked. This is also a good point to make sure that the spanning-tree behaviors
are as expected, such as Priority, which switch is root, etc.
show spanning-tree blockedports command Figure 19.
On the PowerConnect M8024-k, 8024 or 8024F the sessions can be checked by using:
SHOW FIP-SNOOPING. This will show the VLAN’s that are snooped and configured, along with how many
FCF’s, and ENode devices that are available. If there is no entry or “0” FCF’s or ENode’s after running
this command there is possibly a missed step in the configuration. Proceeding beyond this point will not
be possible until this configuration error is corrected.
Show fip-snooping command which gives a brief status on available ENode’s, Figure 20.
