Reading the *right* book helps a lot :) - and then, it's "build a network,
change things, see it explode, find out why it happened, and swear to
yourself that it won't happen again".
My last spanning tree accident was a stupid HP switch not doing per-vlan
STP (but one single global STP), trying to combine 3 different VLANs into
a single tree and thus randomly disabling links... of course HP claims
"this is a feature, as pv-STP is cisco proprietary crap, and we're much
superior, we only implement Real Standards".
And no, MST is not the answer - MST? is a question, and the answer is "no".
(MST just doesn't work in an ISP/datacenter environment where VLANs
just happen to be "where needed", and there's hardly any two switches
or trunks carrying the exact same set of VLANs)
