3440.b5c5.0ef2 in vlan 3255 is flapping between port Po32 and port Gi1/0/3

What is connected to Gi1/0/3?  Is this the client with the MAC address "3440.b5c5.0ef2"? 

If so, then how many interfaces is this client connected to the network?

hi Leo

That interface is connected to IBM enclosure server.Two up links (interfaces) connected to Cisco 3850 switches.Like one interface will be one switch second will be second switch.

Like one interface will be one switch second will be second switch.

I understand this.  But the question is are both switches in the same stack or different?  If they are in the same stack, are the links configured as part of an EtherChannel?
