Is it Normal for link-state changes on switchports connected to EXI hosts?

[m_schmidt1]

I have just enabled logging of interface state changes on my switch and noticed one in particular is making state changes frequently, at least once an hour sometimes more, like this:

Jun 24 08:14:31: %LINK-SW1-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet1/8/21, changed state to down
Jun 24 08:14:32: %LINEPROTO-SW1-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet1/8/21, changed state to down
Jun 24 08:14:33: %LINK-SW1-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet1/8/21, changed state to up
Jun 24 08:14:34: %LINEPROTO-SW1-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet1/8/21, changed state to up
I discovered it connects to an EXI host but I know nothing about these. Is it normal for interfaces connected to EXI hosts to change a lot?

  - No , it's not normal, you may want for instance check error logs  on EXI
