I am not sure whether this is normal behavior or not. I was looking into
a problem where a server appears to hang network connections to it at
about 15 minute idle intervals. I checked the usual suspects, speed,
duplex, port errors etc. No discrepancies there.
The switch in question is a 6509E running 12.2(18)SXF7. The lone VLAN
962 SVI on the switch is in the same VLAN as the problem server. I can
ping the server without any issues.
I did a show mac-address dynamic int g3/39 to see what the switch
records for this server.
sw1#sh mac-addr dyn int g3/39
Displaying entries from Line card 3:
Legend: * - primary entry
age - seconds since last seen
n/a - not available
vlan mac address type learn age ports
------+----------------+--------+-----+----------+----------------------

[FE 1]:
* 962 001b.7845.dbf8 dynamic Yes 280 Gi3/39
[FE 2]:
* 962 001b.7845.dbf8 dynamic Yes 165 Gi3/39
sw1#
What is the meaning of [FE 1] and [FE 2] above?
Would that be why are there two entries for the same MAC address on the
same port and VLAN?
I did some more digging and found other hosts/port showing the same
behavior so it's not isolated to this one server.
Could any of this be related to the server issue?
Thanks.
