Definitive Ethernet LANS for engineers

<h3>Total FabricPath training course description</h3>
 A comprehensive look at Cisco's FabricPath. This
course starts with the problems in traditional switched
networks then moves onto to how FabricPath solves
these problems. As IS-IS is key to loop free topologies
in FabricPath networks, this protocol is also studied.
