The XO products I believe are suppose to have some "hot standby(as Cisco refers to it)" capabilities. When inter mixing vendor's gear that does not help though. More of an FYI reply to the glad I got Cisco comment as opposed to a solution to the bridge loop problem. I would have probably used Cisco as well but they did not have an outdoor solution to eliminate feet and feet of coax dB loss up a 160' tower.

No that this is too late for your deployment, but Cisco actually has a Back-up radio capability that prevents this. I.e. the two radios talk, and if the back-up for what ever reason can not talk to the primary radio, it goes into operation automagicly.. Have I said before I am glad I went Cisco?
