Set a syslog server

WHat kind of flapping? If the port is going down and up then I would chaeck that PC for virus/spyware. Each time we have a port doing this it is because of an infected PC that is scanning every IP in existence as fast as it can.

If it is MAC address flapping between two ports, you may have a multi-nic server that needs etherchannel support from the switch.

If macs are flappiing between cross-over/trunks you may have some kind of loop or repeated fail-over. DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email)
