Hi All,
I have a query. There is a requirement to disable STP on one of the VLAN in my campus network. It hosts about 100+ Vlans and is totally a 6500/5500 network. There is no bridging. Its totally a hub-spoke network. Spokes connected to Hub via separate VLAN's (I call it DataCenter to Bldg X Vlan).
Will there be any network implications if I disable STP on that particular VLAN.
Regards,

Hello,
as long as there is no redundant path for traffic within that VLAN, there is no real implication. If you are 100% sure that your physical setup has no redundant paths, you can turn STP off. Is this a ´lab´ requirement or a ´real-life´ requirement ?

Hello,
As its a Hub-Spoke setup, this Vlan is available in multiple buildings throughout the campus. There are no redudndant paths. Its real life production environment.

I'd never dare to disable STP in a campus-spread VLAN.
What happens when some "too active" user creates a loop connecting two switch ports together via a small hub on his table?
But I might be missing something. What do you mean by "There is no bridging" in your original question?
