Hi
The possible reason for this loopback error is coz of bad cable which is connected on the ports.
have you tried changing the cable and checked for the error ? if not can you try it off and check ...

Hello,
check if changing the cable(s) makes a difference, also, do you see any STP messages in any of the switch logs ?

Hi Friend,
Also if changing the cable did not resolve the issue then there may be a STP loop in you network.
The problem occurs because the keepalive packet is looped back to the port that sent the keepalive. Keepalives are sent on the Catalyst switches in order to prevent loops in the network. Keepalives are enabled by default on all interfaces. You see this problem on the device that detects and breaks the loop, but not on the device that causes the loop.
Workaround will be to issue the "no keepalive" interface command in order to disable keepalives. A disablement of the keepalive prevents errdisablement of the interface, but it does not remove the loop.
To remove the loop you may have to trace the cables and switches and find out that out.
