I am managing a Nexus 3548 switch, with a port-channel as its uplink (routed) and some local networks (access).
It is updated to the latest stable version. Recently, after some hours (ranging from 1 hour to a couple of hours), the switch becomes very strange. Some interfaces flapping, some ips in the local networks are not routed (not pingable from outside) but they are pingable within the switch. There is nothing in the log but "eth X is down" then up again. To fix it, I have to reload the switch. After reloading everything is just fine.

Hi, can you share the show interface<<- the one that flapping
02-11-2023 01:16 PM
Actually, multiple interfaces flapping in random.
one is eth1/1 one of the uplink members
XXXXX(config)# sh int eth1/1
Ethernet1/1 is up
admin state is up, Dedicated Interface

Hello!
I highly recommend opening a service request with Cisco TAC to troubleshoot this issue further, especially since this issue is happening on NX-OS software release 10.2(4) (which is the current recommended NX-OS software release at the time of this writing).
Thank you!

Hmm,
I think you face drop in queue and one of packet that drop is lacp packet and hence you face port flapping.
First thing try change hash for port.

Thank you. How can I change hash for port please ?

can I see first
show port-channel summary <<- run this command when the port is flapping
