Switch to Router Etherchannel; MACFLAP error message

Johnny Segway

Hi - I'm just labbing for ICND2 and wanted to connect a Router to Switch etherchannel through 2 ports on each device, but now having recurring error message:

 

*Mar  1 02:05:11.452: %SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host XXXX.XXXX.XXXX in vlan 1 is flapping between port Fa0/1 and port Fa0/2
*Mar  1 02:12:03.987: %SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host XXXX.XXXX.XXXX in vlan 1 is flapping between port Fa0/2 and port Fa0/1

 

So I have Router: G0/0 connected to Switch: F0/1 and G0/1 connected to Switch F0/2.

 

The Router has aggregated its two ports into 1 channel (so I think that end is configured correctly); but the Switch doesn't look too healthy as port channel is in shutdown. Any idea where I have gone wrong please?

 

Switch#sh etherchannel summary
Flags:  D - down        P - bundled in port-channel
        I - stand-alone s - suspended
        H - Hot-standby (LACP only)
        R - Layer3      S - Layer2
        U - in use      f - failed to allocate aggregator

        M - not in use, minimum links not met
        u - unsuitable for bundling
        w - waiting to be aggregated
        d - default port


Number of channel-groups in use: 1
Number of aggregators:           1

Make sure that both ends of the channel use LACP or both ends are configured statically (mode on).
