~ in one of our server switches, a
~
~ IOS (tm) Catalyst 4000 L3 Switch Software (cat4000-I9S-M), Version
~ 12.2(20)EWA, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
~
~ System image file is "bootflash:cat4000-i9s-mz.122-20.EWA.bin"
~
~ cisco WS-C4507R (MPC8245) processor (revision 7) with 524288K bytes of
~ memory.
~
~ we have this problem ;
~
~ we have implemented load balancing between two server.
~ I understand that the mac adress 02:01:00:00:00:00 is used by MS load
~ balancing service.
~
~ the problem is that there are 2 other servers which are also on load
~ balancing, so twice the mac-adress on the switch.
~
~ so we get this following message every 5 or 6 seconds...

~ %C4K_EBM-4-HOSTFLAPPING: Host 02:01:00:00:00:00 in vlan 403 is flapping
~ between port Gi5/2 and port Gi 4/22
~ these server must be on the same vlan, and the MS load balancing
~ service is by default on the MCS 7800 series (for cisco call manager).
~
~ is there a way to avoid this ??
~ thanks.
