Our DC has had intermittent issues over the past year with spanning-tree loops 
with customers who have multiple uplinks to our switch fabric.  We've explored 
a few different options with limited to no success(such as bpdu guard, 
stp-protect, etc.), but currently we're considering setting manual path costs 
on ports as a way to help avoid the loops & subsequent cpu spikes we've dealt 
with.  Has anyone deployed manual path costs for customers with multiple 
uplinks(either to the same switch or multiple switches), and if so what 
success/problems have you had with its implementation?  I'd prefer the info be 
from the FastIron environment, but any Foundry-related discussion would be 
appreciated.
