MAC FLAP NOTIFICATION BEGINS AFTER CONFIGURING RSPAN

legacynetwork
Level 1
Level 1

I have core switches in stack and those are connected to access stack using port channel. Configuration is as below. I have created VLAN 250 for RSPAN Purpose and configured same on both. Moment I enable monitoring session, I start receiving logs "SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF" and says hosts in VLAN 250 are flapping Between PO2 and PO3. I see lot of random mac address, there is no pattern, no repeated mac address,  these logs only starts when monitoring session is enabled and not sure why it keeps referring to VLAN 250 which is solely created for RSPAN purpose. Please advise what might be going wrong here.



On Core Switch Pointing to Access Switch 101

interface Port-channel2
switchport mode trunk

interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/5
switchport mode trunk

spanning-tree bpduguard disable
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet2/0/5

From Access Switch101 Pointing back to Core switch

Hello @legacynetwork ,

have you added the rspan command under vlan 250 on both core switches ?

one of the purposes of this command is to disable MAC address learning on VLAN 250.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

 

 

 

Both core switches are in stack so I see single configuration and yes, RSPAN is configured under vlan 250
