Two same mac address learning on single port

[kamleshkatariya1994]

Multiple vlans can be configured on the same mac and on the same port.

1 18b1.692e.c100 DYNAMIC Gi1/0/1
11 18b1.692e.c100 DYNAMIC Gi1/0/1

[Torbjørn]

This can occur for multiple reasons. It could also be caused by having VLANs that have been bridged together somewhere else in the topology. Some devices simply use the same mac address in multiple VLANs. You can see this when a device has transitioned from one VLAN to another.

hello 

Is this the cause of Mac flapping?

[M02@rt37]

hello @kamleshkatariya1994 

If Gi1/0/1 is a trunk port, it can carry traffic for both VLAN 1 and VLAN 11. The device with the MAC address 18b1.692e.c100 might be connected to another switch or router through this trunk port.

[kamleshkatariya1994]

hello

Gi1/0/1 connects to firewall and configures 2 vlans, and 2 vlan mac are same 

Is this the cause of Mac flapping?

[M02@rt37 · Accepted solution]

@kamleshkatariya1994 

Yes, the scenario you described, where the same MAC address (`18b1.692e.c100`) appears on multiple VLANs on the same port  connecting to a Firewall, can indeed cause MAC flapping. MAC flapping occurs when the switch receives frames with the same source MAC address on different ports or VLANs in a short period of time, leading to continuous updates in its MAC address table. This typically happens due to misconfigurations in trunk ports or VLAN tagging issues. In this case, the port Gi1/0/1 should be correctly configured as a trunk port, and the firewall must appropriately tag VLANs to prevent confusion. T

Troubleshoot this! Verify the trunk configuration on the switch to ensure the appropriate VLANs are allowed and properly tagged. For instance, the switch port configuration should allow VLANs 1 and 11. On the firewall, ensure that interfaces handling VLANs are set up correctly, tagging traffic with the right VLAN identifiers.

Thanx for support

It is third time you post aboue same issue.

I dont think it solve (let discuss this issue here please no private message'let all know exactly the issue and how we can solve it)

Now 

History of issue 

You have ring topolgy 

The SW face this issue is SW that connect to 802.1D (legacy)' i.e. legacy SW is inbetween two SW run PVST.

So the solution of this issue is make this SW run PVST' i.e. all SW run same STP mode

Waiting your reply 

MHM

[kamleshkatariya1994]

hello 

Yes all SW run same STP mode (PVST)

[MHM Cisco World]

If So what I see is say different 

Below is your show in your first post which fast mark as solve and I was sure it not native vlan issue anyway

Only check your first post' what I share above from your post

Where you see peer (stp) ?

It can the issue here 

MHM

[Joseph W. Doherty]

Yes they can.  MACs only need to be unique per L2 domain.  As you mention two VLANs, that's legitimate.

From your other replies, you ask if this can cause MAC flapping.  If all is configured correctly, and working correctly, no it shouldn't.

If you have MAC flapping, we need more detail, starting with what do you see/consider the MAC flapping?

@MHM Cisco World mentions this is your 3rd post same issue?

[kamleshkatariya1994]

hello

Tell me what details you need and i will send it to you.

[Joseph W. Doherty]

Just took a look a your prior postings.  I, like @Giuseppe Larosa (in one of those prior threads) wonder about the size of your ring topology, especially using non-rapid-pvst.  More suitable for this topology might be REP, but possibly not all your switches support, but if they rapid-pvst, I would suggest migrating to that.  Believe it's a bit more tolerant on "diameter".
