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.
