Are you able to do distributed trunking with your switches(dt-LACP/cross-stack etherchannel)? It at all possible I would consider creating distributed trunks rather than fussing with STP. We actually have each blade plugged into two different switches with one big distributed LACP trunk on the Viprion tagged with our VLANS.

Hi Brad We currently have each VCMP connected to separate switch using Trunk. As we have three layers with its own spanning instance how would this overcome it ?
