Hi

Can any one suggest me how resolve the problem of Mac-address flapping ,as per the scenerio is concern My Switch (SW1 and SW2 ) are conncted to Customers switches (Cusw1 sand Cusw2) ,now My Sw1 having inbuilt Mac-address is reflecting in other 2 ports of Cutomer Switches .

Reflecting the error :- Feb 23 09:59:00.714 IST: %C4K_EBM-4-HOSTFLAPPING: Host 00:11:92:83:B6:00 in vlan 9 is flapping between port Gi7/12 and port Gi7/48"

This sounds like it could either be a spanning tree issue or ports are flapping cause spanning tree to re-converge (possible downstream from your kit).

If you have no link up down errors on your kit I would ask your customer to check there's for any errors.

This MAC address is a cisco (MAC 001192 belongs to cisco), so I suspect this is the bridge ID of one of those switches.

Dear Adam ,

Thanks for the response ,yes this Mac addres belong to Switch 3550 flash

Please find the error message getting in thr switches

This is the only mesage reflecting on thr ports.

Please recrt back for any other info

Hi Anabhuti

Gi7/12 and port Gi7/48 are trunks right? could you paste there config please.

Hi Adam,

AS the configuration is at the csutomer end, and as per the security norms we cant provide u the whole config,but the those ports are trunk ports?

Regards,

Anubhuti

This is what I have seen in the past, the same MAC address is appearing on two devices.

Usually a customer has a programmable chip which has duplicate MAC address to re-write them on a network interface.
