MAC flapping on Cisco 3750G switch

Asked by Juliafrazer in Network Switches & Hubs, Networking Hardware

Tags: Cisco, Switch, 3750G & Aironet 1200, MAC Flapping, %SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 0012.f045.0ca9 in vlan 1 is flapping betwee

I have a Cisco 3750G switch connected to (among other things) 2 Cisco Aironet 1200 wirless AP's.

One AP is connected to port Gi1/0/31.

The switch is connected to our main building via a laser link (FSO) connected via port Gi1/0/1.

When monitoring the switch I am getting these error messages appear at varying time intervals:

%SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 0012.f0xx.xxxx in vlan 1 is flapping between port Gi1/0/1 and port Gi1/0/31

or

%SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 0015.00xx.xxxx in vlan 1 is flapping between port Gi1/0/31 and port Gi1/0/1

I have many other 3750G's and Aironet 1200's on this site, but this is the only on I get this problem with.

This is the running config for Gi1/0/31:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/31
 description WIFI 2ND FLR
end


This is the running config for Gi1/0/1:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
 description FSO-LINK
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-20
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport nonegotiate
 speed 100
 duplex full
 ip dhcp snooping trust
end

This is the running config for the port connected to Gi1/0/1 on our core switch:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/8
 description FSO-LINK
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-20
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport nonegotiate
 speed 100
 duplex full
 no mdix auto
 ip dhcp snooping trust

The FSO link is transparent to the network. The error is consistently coming from the same 2 MAC addresses.
