Fabric Path well worth the investment
Pros
- It scales fairly well.
- It's been fairly easy for people to learn and work with.
- It has simplified network administration by utilizing Fabric Extenders which are all configured from the same switch and treated as an extension of the switch rather than as a separate entity.
Cons
- We've had a few bugs that have caused random reloads of switches when modifying VLANS.
- We've had a bug that reloaded an entire fabric at once.
Return on Investment
- FabricPath is easy enough to learn that the adoption on the team has been fairly quick. This allows us to quickly troubleshoot and allows us to meet and beat SLAs that demand we maintain 99.99%+ uptime for our paying customers.
