B. Automatic OSPF routing
C. Scalability
D. Dynamic link selection
E. Spanning tree loop prioritization.
Correct Answer: AC

Explanation:
Simplified network, reducing operating expenses – FabricPath is extremely simp–e to configure. The only necessary configuration consists of distinguishing the core ports, which link the switches, from the edge ports, where end devices are attached. No parameters need to be tuned to achieve an optimal configuration, and switch addresses are assigned automatically.
Cisco® FabricPath is an innovation in Cisco NX-OS Software that brings the stability and scalability of routing to Layer 2. The switched domain does not have to be segmented anymore, providing data center – wide workload mobility. Because traffic is no longer forwarded along a spanning tree, the bisectional bandwidth of the network is not limited, and massive scalability is now possible. Figure 1 shows some of the advantages of a network that uses Cisco FabricPath.
