Hello,
I see the following in syslog from an IDF (C3850) switch in our warehouse. The gig interfaces flapping are Extreme Networks 410i wireless access points, and the port channel is the link back to the MDF.

Please let me know what I need to do to resolve this. I'll be happy to provide any other details needed.

That normal if wireless client is l2 roaming
Do
no mac address-table notification mac-move
To not see this log again.

Hi,
Mac flapping is not unusual when you have APs connected to multiple ports on a switch or multiple switches, and the users are moving around with their laptops or mobile devices.
What ports are members of PO1?

Hi thanks for that. I was not aware.
Only one member of Po1 and thats the fiber run back to the MDF, Te1/1/1

Ok, so when you see the flap coming from the PO, that means the AP is connected to a different switch of the core, and someone with a mobile device is romaing around.
