Do I need STP in fairly basic setup?

Do I need STP in fairly basic setup?

hi everyone

With a simple VCS in logical mode where "third-party" physical access to the devices is forbidden and where that VCS has one uplink/vlan (port group LACP) to the "outside" - would you say no STP(nor other loop detecting/protecting mechanism) is okey?
And if not and some loop protection is required, then why?

many thanks, L.

If the VCS only has one uplink to the "third-party" switch, then STP is not needed.

If you have further questions, please include a topology. So, we can better address your questions.
