[c-nsp] Mac address flapping..

[James Ashton]

Actualy,
 My 2 4506s are plugged into the customers, Flat, Default configed, Cisco 3548-XL-EN switch.

His servers hang off from that switch.

I assume the server housing that MAC has 2 NICs, one plugged into
4506-a, and the other in 4506-b?

I've seen it before during a server reboot where it has multiple NICs
that the server guys have configured a virtual MAC, and that MAC bounces
between it's 2 ports a few times during OS startup, causing errors
almost exactly like that. The switch sees the MAC on one port, then the
server uses that MAC on the other port, etc.

I'd see if those error times coincide with reboots of the servers.
