This is a common occurance as devices are turned on and off on the network. Are you having people complain of intermittent connectivity? What are the stat's on the ports showing?

lots of users are complaining. The status is the ports are joining and leaving the bridge. Error message = PAGP-5-PORTFROMSTP, I reviewed the error message from Cisco and they basicly said contact TAC. Do you think it a software bug. I currently running version 5.5(11a).

If the users are complaining then I would look at speed /duplex mismatches for the ports , this will cause what you are seeing . If you auto on the switch then the users NIC's "must" be set as auto . if you hardcode the ports then the users nics must be hardcoded to match . Also look for high numbers of alignments and crc errors , this will also indicate a mismatch .

Also what software version are you running on the 4006? 6.3(10) should be a good code to run as it has lot of bug fixes
