  Hello,

  Since 2 weeks ago I configured MSTP in the network that I manage, all was success, when a link fails, the backup link is activated 
  automatically in 1 second.  

  I have 9 redundant links approximately, in around 50 cisco switches catalyst 3550, all of them are part of one region.

  Today I try to activate a new redundant link and all the network went down, the 90% of the switches stayed out, and the switches
  that I could reach had in the log message "crash memory"; I supose that was a loop, but I have reviewed too many times and
  I can't find any bad configuration. I had to reload all switches to get connectivity again and shut down the link that caused the problem.

  Can anybody help to me giving some tips about it.

  Thanks
