My core switch is logging the following messages.

What can happening to log these messages?

Po20 is the etherchannel to my aruba controller

Po1 and Po3 are blade servers.

Do you have STP turned on on your controllers ?

Yes, I have PVST.

At controller.

spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
spanning-tree vlan 1
spanning-tree vlan 1 priority 61440

anderson.gomes,

Do you have a port channel configured on the link between the switch and the controller?

Hi,

Yes, I have a portchannel.

At Controller

interface port-channel 1
add gigabitethernet 1/0
trusted
trusted vlan 1-4094
switchport mode trunk

At Cisco.

interface Port-channel20
description ## CONTROLLER_ARUBA_WIRELESS ##
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
--More--   switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-35,37-4094
switchport mode trunk
speed 1000
duplex full
spanning-tree bpduguard disable
spanning-tree guard root

please also check if you have broadcast/multicast optimisation enabled on any of the vlan interfaces on the controller - there is a known issue in releases equal or older than 6.2.1.1, 6.1.3.8 where the controller sometimes sends out a proxy arp for a host that it learnt, which causes the switch to think the mac flapped.

Hi,

is still have this issue with version 6.4.4.13.

We disabled STP, Broadcast and Multicast optimization is off, 

As it looks like the Aruba send out messages where our switch thinks it has the mac-address of the default gateway.

thx
