vPC trouble - link flapping between C3750 stack and Nexus 5596

Hi All,

I have configured 1 vPC's between 2 Nexus 5596 and 1 stack C3750 switch. The links in the stack are distributed over both members.

Gi1/1/1  -> Eth 1/44  NX 5596-02

Gi 2/1/1 -> Eth 1/45  NX 5596-02

Gi 1/1/2 -> Eth 1/46  NX 5596-01

Gi 2/1/2 -> Eth 1/47  NX 5596-01

The same logic is for another stack C3750 to the same pair of Nexus 5596 switches.

The problem is that the links from the vPCs keep flapping at random moments - 1-2 times per hour.

The network is not loaded at this time and the same issue is on both vPC's.

the flaps in the nexus 5596 looks like this

%ETH_PORT_CHANNEL-5-PORT_DOWN: port-channel108: Ethernet1/44 is down

%ETH_PORT_CHANNEL-5-FOP_CHANGED: port-channel108: first operational port changed from Ethernet1/44 to Ethernet1/45

%ETHPORT-5-IF_DOWN_INITIALIZING: Interface Ethernet1/44 is down (Initializing)

%ETH_PORT_CHANNEL-5-PORT_UP: port-channel108: Ethernet1/44 is up

%ETHPORT-5-IF_UP: Interface Ethernet1/44 is up in mode trunk

On the stack is just up/down the pair interface.

I started few debugs on the stack and captured the folowing output:

C3750X-02#im_if_stack_relationship_add: Posting the ACP job for stack add for 5018.10902

Do someone have any idea what happens here ?

The configuration is ok because i have another vPC connected to FEX's and is working fine.

Kind regards,
