IMO the best way to do that is with Spanning Tree. You will have to manipulate a metric to determine which link is active, secondary and tertiary. You could try flex links [http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750/software/release/12.2_25_see/configuration/guide/swflink.html] but they are only good for two links, not three. Another solution could be to use Etherchannel, but that's assuming all three links go to the same switch and all three could be active at the same time.

thanks for the reply the problem is i can only do configuration the root bridge if i was to do metric it would have to be on the other switch, any other ideas?

Trying to get a bigger picture, why can you only change the root bridge?

Sorry because thats the task ive been set to do
