Local Director 415

Has anyone seen %C4K_EBM-4-HOSTFLAPPING: with Loacal Director?

I have two 415s in LAN failover that were working well on a WS-C4002 that I moved to a 4507R and they are still working well.

There are two PIX 520s in failover on the same switch.

The new switch has log entries that indicate a problem with the firewall. I have failed the LD and the PIX to the standby units but the entries persist.

Hi Robert,

%C4K_EBM-4-HOSTFLAPPING: Host [mac-addr] in vlan [dec] is flapping between port [char] and port [char]

The specified host is detected as a source address on multiple ports.

Typically, a host is supposed to be learned on only one port.

A spanning tree loop is the most common cause of this condition.

All traffic from the specified host is temporarily dropped.

After 15 seconds, forwarding is reenabled.

If the problem persists, the traffic from the problem host continues to be dropped indefinitely.

Cisco's Recommended Action:

Make sure that spanning tree is enabled to prevent spanning tree loops.

If you have spanning tree disabled, make sure that you have no spanning tree loops in your network.

Hope this helps.
