Hi ,
i have a vss enabled switch (6800) as uplink wi th multiple vlan
I just connected a 3650x to the 6800 using trunk , there was some vlans creted on the switch already . ( it's not same as the uplink switch )
Then connected one device to the one of the port and assigned vlan . Everything was ok . after some time i did a shut and no shut the interface where the device connected .From that moment i was getting the following flap error
%SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 00eb in vlan 20 is flapping between port Te1/1 and port Gi0/1
%SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 00e6 in vlan 20 is flapping between port Gi0/1 and port Te1/1
NOTIF: Host .fef0 in vlan 20 is flapping between port Gi0/1 and port Te1/1
W_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host .00e5 in vlan 20 is flapping between port Gi0/1 and port Te1/1
Uplink switch running rstp and downlink running pvst
Thanks

Is the mac address constant which is flapping between the ports?
if not then could you please provide me the config of the ports connecting between the switches?
Is there only one link from 3560 to VSS or you have two links?
Is there any other way the 3560 is connecting to VSS(I mean third switch)?

Hi,
Is the mac address constant which is flapping between the ports?
6 mac address flapping , which is in another switch
3650 switch all port are in vlan 1 except gi0/1 assigned to vlan 20
vss
interface TenGigabitEthernet2/6/1
switchport
switchport mode trunk
storm-control multicast level 1.00
storm-control action trap
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1
switchport mode trunk
sw trunk encapsulation dot 1q
Is there only one link from 3560 to VSS or you have two links?
yes
Is there any other way the 3560 is connecting to VSS(I mean third switch)?
there are multipl switches conneted layer2
Thanks

Answer: Now you have to trace switch by switch to see if there is any STP loop. Usually the mac flap occurs due to STP loop(Exception for mac address flapping for wireless clients who are in roaming profile you expect to see the mac flap) but other than that if you are seeing it then its clear indication of loop.
ost 00eb in vlan 20 is flapping between port Te1/1 and port Gi0/1
1- Take one mac address and check with the ports g0/1 & t1/1
2- Go to the switch which is connected to g0/1 - check for this mac address?
Check for high cpu/logs- enable mac move and see if you are seeing any mac flap on this box.
3- Same followed to the device T1/1 and go on further to the port/switch were you are seeing the mac address.

Hi,
Yes you are right go ahead and verify the mac address via the ports and then follow the procedure to same ton th other switch and see if you are learning it in different way.

Hi
Actually the flap started the moment i gave sh and no sh command on the interface gi0/1
1- Take one mac address and check with the ports g0/1 & t1/1
taken from the switch where flap happens
0006.7601.fef0
Switch#sh mac address-table | in fef0
20 0006.7601.fef0 DYNAMIC Te1/1
sh mac address-table interface gi0/1
Mac Address Table
-------------------------------------------
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
---- ----------- -------- -----
19 0006.7601.fede DYNAMIC Gi0/1
19 0006.ba41.1e00 DYNAMIC Gi0/1
i did not see any flap where the mac address '0006.7601.fede ' involved .
taken from the switch where the device is conneted
2- Go to the switch which is connected to g0/1 - check for this mac address?
sw2#sh mac address-table | in fef0
20 0006.7601.fef0 dynamic ip,ipx,assigned,other GigabitEthernet10/29
Check for high cpu/logs- enable mac move and see if you are seeing any mac flap on this box.
you mean "mac-address-table notification mac-move" ?
cpu seems to be ok , logs from the switch where flap happens
: %SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 0006.7601.fef0 in vlan 20 is flapping between port Gi0/1 and port Te1/1
