I have two 10Gbps uplinks from a stack of Cisco 2960-X switches to my core. Currently RSTP is set up so one of the links is down (in ALTERNATE state) and one is always up. Traffic from the users never ever comes close to 10Gbps. I've always felt better making a single port-channel out of multiple uplink ports and having all links "active"
Are there any advantages or disadvantages with just leaving all uplinks as they are and letting RSTP figure things out if a link (or switch) goes down or is it better to put all links into a port-channel and let the port-channel algorithm figure it out.
(or is it a case of "six of one, half dozen of the other" kind of thing where it really doesn't matter either way)
