Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID, legacy) — Question 59

Which two options are benefits of implementing Cisco FabricPath? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. All links between FabricPath switches are active.
• B. The MAC addresses of servers are learned by all FabricPath switches.
• C. Layer 2 protocols are used for loop avoidance.
• D. MAC learning is conversation-based.
• E. Segmentation is provided at Layer 3.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers are A and D because Cisco FabricPath allows all links between switches to be active, enhancing bandwidth and redundancy, while MAC learning being conversation-based optimizes the process. Options B and C are incorrect; B is not a specific benefit of FabricPath, and C misrepresents the loop avoidance mechanism used in this technology.
