MAC ADDRESS is Flapping

After some changes on my network topoly , found the following message at console:

 %SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 7819.f7bd.e7f0 in vlan 2 is flapping between port Gi0/6 and port Po2

After that system goes very slow with %22 of paquet loss.
I know there is a layer2 loop somewhere.

So I have 2 questions:
1)I know that 7819.f7bd.e7f0 should go out on Po2,
Can I add an static entry at mac address table ? Would It eliminate the flapping ?
It is only temporal until I find the source problem.

and
2) 7819.f7bd.e7f0 has 3 Gateways Ips associated and each is also assigned to 3 different Vlan connecte through a trunk Po2 port. So Is it possible the add following 3 entries?

mac-address-table static 7819.f7bd.e7f0 vlan 2 interface ethernet Po2
mac-address-table static 7819.f7bd.e7f0 vlan 3 interface ethernet Po2
mac-address-table static 7819.f7bd.e7f0 vlan 4 interface ethernet Po2

It seems like the host is being seen by both interfaces, if you can share configuration related to both interfaces, it will be easier to check. 

I faced similar issue on GNS3, as the MAC is the same for the switch module, so i received the same error when 2 routers were connected to a switch. 


i guess the switch cannot learn the same MAC from three different interfaces (VLANs) this is related to your suggestion.

Trace the MAC address and find out what it is.

"show mac add | i 7819.f7bd.e7f0"
