In addition to what Henrique suggested, if you are seeing MACs flapping, you may have a loop. I would suggest running ELRP on the problematic VLAN.

Hi Munir,

You can add a log entry to track the MAC-Moves and be notified as soon as the flapping starts.

Since this can add lot of log entries you can enable a syslog server or even increase the switch log buffer from 1000 to 20000.

If the flapping already started and if you didn't have those logs entries added, I don't believe you will be able to find the exact date/time.
