MicroNugget: What is FabricPath?

Start learning cybersecurity with CBT Nuggets. https://courses.cbt.gg/security In this video, Anthony Sequeira covers Cisco's FabricPath technology. Follow along and learn how to remove spanning tree protocol functionality from a Nexus 7000 and replace it with FabricPath, then go and deliver the best aspects of both Layer 2 and Layer 3 to your own data center. This micro nugget was developed to deliver practical experience for anyone working on their DCUFI. Anthony connects directly to a Nexus 7000 and configures it to interact with a downstream Nexus 5000 via Cisco's FabricPath. This is the data center equivalent of rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty. You won't watch any cables get run or floorboards get pulled up, but you can follow along and watch trunk links get configured. The connection between an upstream Nexus 7000 and a downstream 5000 is usually going to be running STP by default, but sometimes you just have to rip it out and replace it with FabricPath. 🌐 Download the Free Ultimate Networking Cert Guide: https://blog.cbt.gg/zp5a ⬇️ 13-Week Study Plan: CCNA (200-301): https://blog.cbt.gg/0xq6 Start learning with CBT Nuggets: • Cisco CCNA Data Center (200-150 DCICN & 200-155 DCICT) | https://courses.cbt.gg/8fw • Cisco CCT Data Center (010-151 DCTECH) | https://courses.cbt.gg/kk5 • Data Structures with Pandas | https://courses.cbt.gg/0fw
