ALM-1707675688 Static MAC address flapping occurs

Description

L2IFPPI/4/PORTSECSTATICFLP: OID [OID] Interface received a packet with flapping static MAC. (MACAddr=[OPAQUE], VLAN=[GAUGE], VsiName=[OCTET], IfIndex=[INTEGER], InterfaceName=[OCTET])

The source MAC address in the packet received by an interface already exists in the static MAC table of another interface.

Attribute

AlarmID	Alarm OID	Alarm Severity	Alarm Type
1707675688	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.315.3.9	Warning	Quality of service alarm

Parameters

Name	Meaning
OID	Indicates the MIB object ID of the alarm
MACAddr	Indicates the MAC address
VLAN	Indicates the VLAN ID
VsiName	Indicates the name of a VSI
IfIndex	Indicates the interface index
InterfaceName	Indicates the interface name

Impact on the System

The source MAC address in the packet received by an interface already exists in the static MAC table of another interface. Therefore, the interface will discard this packet.

Possible Causes

The source MAC address of the packet received by an interface enabled with port security exists in a static MAC address entry on another interface.

Procedure

Check whether the interface needs to process the packet.
- If so, go to step 2.
- If not, go to step 3.
Run the display mac-address [ vlan vlan-id | interface-type interface-number ] * command to search for the corresponding interface based on the MAC address of the packet, and run the undo mac-address [interface-type interface-number | vlan vlan-id] * command on the interface to delete the existing MAC address entry.
End.
