Hello All -
I have a couple 3550XL's, one running 12.2(25)SEB4, the other 12.2(44)SE6. The ports are trunked and each has a Motorola Canopy AP connected with 900Mhz Subscriber Modules providing wifi using Cisco Meraki devices. I have hard coded each ports duplex and speed to full/100 and swapped cables on a couple of the ports, yet they are continually flapping with the %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN and %LINK-3-UPDOWN errors in the logs.
This happens all throughout the day, every day. What could cause the flapping if I've hard coded each end and verified the cables are good? Attached is the running config for the ports in question. Let me know if there's any other info needed. Thanks!

Post the outputs to the command "sh interface <BLAH>" of all the flapping interfaces.

FastEthernet0/44 is up, line protocol is up (connected) 23446 input errors, 23446 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored
Can you post the output to the command "sh controll e F0/44"?

Thanks Eric.
Please check the entire cable length to whatever is connected to port 44. You've got a cable problem. The output has high amount of FCS and collision fragments which are normally attributed to a faulty cable.

if you have only one Switch in network then try to t-shoot Leo has explained, if you have more than one switch in network then pls check STP on VLAN.

Hi Nafis
Thanks for the reply and the advice. If the cable doesn't fix the issue I'll check that and report back.

Hi,
if issue have in STP then nothing depend on cable. can you send send the output of sho spannin.

Hi Nafis -
I did replace the cable and alleviated the input/CRC errors, yet we're still seeing the flapping occur. I've attached the sh span. Is it possible that clients roaming from one AP to another on property could cause a false-positive loop? If the switch doesn't see that a device left one AP and connected to another, would it see that as a loop?
Thanks!

As i found in show span output this switch is not root switch so go to the root switch and run the below mention command, after that send the show span output
en
conf t
spanning-tree vlan 1-20 root primary
exit

OK, thanks for the advice. I'll replace the cable and report back.
