Cisco IP Phones randomly reseting, and network hiccups
Our environment consistts of mostly 3560 and 2950 switches. The 3560's went in with a new Cisco IP phone system last summer.
yesterday I noticed some phone starting to reset, like you unplugged the power and plugged them back in. More starting doing this and then I foinf a Giga port in my MF that shut off, then another and another...only on the 2950 switches.
Everything was fine overnight, and it started again today. Phones resetting and ports shutting off. The ports shut off do to a loopback detection. I dsiabled the shutdown of the port to keep the network up, but the phones keep resettin randomly and I have little hiccups in the network, just long enough for Outlook to complain.
I am at a loss, any suggestions?

Most phones are POE if they ar in the 3560, phones that are connected to a 2950 have an AC adapter. It doesn't matter they are both doing it. Sometime on here or there and other times a bunch. They are spread out throughout the site so they are not talking to the same switch.
The 2950 uplinks were erroring out, I forced them to stay up by issuing the command to not shut down on a loopback error. Nothing has changed on the network.
Everything seemed to calm down around 2:00. We have a large wireless network so I am wondering if someone has bridgeed their wireless connection.

Appears to be an issue with the router that the 2 switches are connected or the physical wiring. Wireless should not be an issue as it does not relate to the wired ethernet devices.
So the problem is intermittent? And you are not able to isolate it to specific phone(s)?
