今天在学校的一个三层交换上看到持续的日志信息:
Host 00:E0:FC:09:BC:F9is flapping between fa0/x and fa0/y.
思科对此官方的解释是:
Error Message SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host [enet] in [chars] [dec] is flapping between port [chars] and port [chars]
某主机的MAC地址在某两端口之间摆动。
Explanation This message means that the switch found the traffic from the specified host flapping between the specified ports. [enet] is the host MAC address, [chars] [dec] is the switch ID, and the first and second [chars] are the ports between which the host traffic is flapping.
Recommended Action Check the network switches for misconfigurations that might cause a data-forwarding loop.
思科推荐行动是检查交换机的配置以防有数据传输环路。
在一个唯一环路冗余只做在接入层(备用线路)上,且全部运行STP的网络环境中,我认为没有环路的可能性。
也没有服务器的网卡在两端口间做过bonding(这种情况的表现是flapping只在两个特定的端口之间。解决方案
是交换机上做channal-group。)
如此分析,这大路边的可能故障也就是环路被排除掉了。
那么再来重新分析一下LOG信息。
