[f-nsp] FESX spanning-tree path cost success?

[Christian MacNevin]

It's your small knob. Get that fixed first.

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.
