All of them. This will give you the best chance of finding the loop if there is one in the future.

yes you are right, i think got on broadcast in network

Hi Munir,

Yes, considering the time delay of the issue, this is more likely to be a broadcast storm. If you connect a PC to one of the switches and assign it to the same VLAN experiencing the issue, a Wireshark packet capture should help in tracking down the source of the broadcast traffic.

How are you confirming there is a loop in the network? Loops usually present themselves instantly so it is odd it takes an hour.

If you could give us a brief topology that would be helpful as well.
