The typical use cases for Cisco FabricPath in my environment is that it's better than STP spanning tree protocols, doesn't block redundant links, and gives us active-active links that increase our bandwidth and provide good load balancing.

We are using Cisco FabricPath ( /products/cisco-fabricpath-reviews ) as part of our network transformation program. We identify key network requirements, find bottlenecks, and assess congestion issues. We determine where new switches need to be deployed to manage current traffic. Based on our assessments, we prepare a report detailing how many switches are required and what transformations need to be implemented in the client network infrastructure. We prepare a bill of materials that outlines the necessary products for procurement, implementation, or upgrades. We then procure items through our strategic vendors and handle installations, configurations, and service delivery.
Cisco FabricPath ( /products/cisco-fabricpath-reviews ) is used mainly for Layer 2 management in our organization. It manages VLANs and is part of our legacy system.

I use Cisco FabricPath for network connectivity and Ethernet switches, specifically Layer three switches like the 3750 series. My environment requires advanced network traffic monitoring and reliable network performance. I have had experience with other brands like HP, but I find that Cisco provides significant advantages in speed and network monitoring.

We have configured Cisco FabricPath mainly for allocating to VMware ESXA servers. We are utilizing only a few ports out of 90 and using a maximum of ten nodes.
I have about eight years of experience working with Cisco FabricPath. I was initially a final customer and integrator, and now I'm a freelancer and consultant. I work with many Cisco environments, including CyberArk and various client endpoints. Many of my customers are clients of Cisco, and they often test integrations with other companies to interface with Cisco solutions.

Cisco devices have consistently demonstrated high reliability and security. The acquisition of Meraki by Cisco has enhanced its capabilities, particularly in enterprise access points. The flexibility offered by Meraki, allowing remote management of access points, has significantly benefited Cisco. Overall, Cisco devices have played a crucial role in our network, and the addition of Meraki has further strengthened its position.

We have the solution installed in many data centers, configured in spine-leaf technology configured with Nexus. We use FabricPath and VXLAN to make our infrastructure reliable in different data centers. We have multiple layers to our environment. Data Centers A to C are connected with fiber, and we used FabricPath to enhance our data center in spine-leaf technology six to seven years ago. Internally, we had VRF to separate our routing table. We use many virtualization environments, not only Cisco, but we especially use Cisco to expand layer 2 and layer 3.

The solution provides a broader speed of connectivity for our applications. That means if we deploy multiple applications into our data center and we don't want a delay between our application and our storage, then we have to use Cisco FabricPath for that as well as for the storage end.

We use FabricPath in the Cisco Data Center Switches. FabricPath is a license to inject into Cisco Data Center Switches like Nexus 7K, 9K for reducing the Spanning Tree phenomenon.
Cisco FabricPath comes thru Cisco NX-OS Software that brings the strength and scalability of routing to Layer 2. it uses routing principles to scale the layer 2 network which is a bit difficult before that. because it provides loop prevention and mitigation within the data plane, it helps to ensure safe forwarding that is unmatched by any other bridge technology. Therefore this is most beneficial in data centers service for their applications that can use widely.
We are a solution provider and Cisco FabricPath is one of the networking infrastructure products that we implement for our customers. This product is well suited to the needs of telecom. We are currently working on a project involving multiple data centers that are spread across India. It is used by ISPs for switching servers to their internal connectivity at the branch level. Essentially, it is working as a layer of redundancy in terms of switching.
We are a leading solution integrator and Cisco FabriPath is one of the products that we implement for our customers. This solution makes up part of an enterprise LAN.

If clients want to avoid STP in their environment, which is usually the case with data center environments, and they want to use an active path, or have multiple paths going to the same resource. If they want to use them both, they use FabricPath. The solution is only supported on Nexus platforms, however. Users should aware of what they're using in the data center.

We are a technical services company and this is one of the solutions that we use to support our clients. We provide a hybrid cloud for our customers, so we have four data centers and we have implemented Cisco FabricPath ourselves. We provide managed services for infrastructure, storage, Wi-Fi, etc. FabricPath is used in the network infrastructure of our hybrid cloud.
Cisco FabricPath is a Cisco NX-OS software innovation combining the plug-and-play simplicity of Ethernet with the reliability and scalability of Layer 3 routing. Using FabricPath, you can build highly scalable Layer 2 multipath networks without the Spanning Tree Protocol. Such networks are particularly suitable for large virtualization deployments, private clouds, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. The benefits of Cisco FabricPath include: Minimal commands per switch ease...

It's primarily used for secure wireless networking between Ubiquity and Cisco.
They use them for LAN switching and connecting servers, access points, and edge devices like IP forms and CCTV cameras.

I mainly use FabricPath to install equipment for core and LAN switching and for access for users to connect to the MPLS, internet, and SD-WAN.
We are using Fortinet as an additional solution as well. Apart from that, we are using an MPLS networking solution. We use Cisco alongside these.
