BPDU Guard best practice

Hello,

One of my clients configures BPDU Guard per default on all switch access ports.

Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree bpduguard enable

The reason for this is that they want to stop STP loop problems as a result of incorrectly patched access cables.

I'm wondering if this (default config) is a good idea, or if there are situations that it could give you problems ?

They also use errdisable to automatically recover a port after 10 minutes.

Switch(config)# errdisable recovery interval 600
Switch(config)# errdisable recovery cause bpduguard

Any experience or feedback would be appreciated,

Thanks, Thomas
