Hi,
%C4K_EBM-4-HOSTFLAPPING: Host [mac-addr] in vlan [dec] is flapping between port [char] and
port [char]
Points that the specified host is detected as a source address on multiple ports.
Typically, a host is supposed to be learned on only one port. A spanning tree loop is the
most common cause of this condition. All traffic from the specified host is temporarily
dropped. After 15 seconds, forwarding is reenabled. If the problem persists, the traffic from the problem host continues to be dropped indefinitely.
Recommended Action: Make sure that spanning tree is enabled to prevent spanning tree
loops. If you have spanning tree disabled, make sure that you have no spanning tree loops
in your network.

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I have checked the Spanning Tree which is running. Still I am getting the same error.
