X460 and X450 Flapping Ports

X460 and X450 Flapping Ports

I have installed 15 new X460 switch stacks, and upgraded the Firmware on some old X450s.
I notice that many of the Ethernet Ports are "Flapping". There is no stable connection, and devices constantly disconnect/reconnect at 10M/100M/1000M. I note that the problem is worse with some Canon Printers, but other devices have problems. I can make the ports more stable by forcing the speed to 10M.

Here are some typical syslogs:

How can I fix this? I have new(ish) f/w (X460 = v1541b3-patch1-1 and X450 = v1265b2-patch1-3)

Most of the cabling is brand new, could this be a problem?

Thanks,
Martin

we just need to upgrade x460 to the right EXOS version.
I believe in x460 by default the debounce timer is 150.
For other chassis based and summit switches it has to be manually set with exos versions.

You need 15.5.3 I think for this command. Upgrade to the latest patch of this release.

I have a 2 slot stack with 460 runing xos 15.4.2 , I tried to configure the command "configure stack-ports 2:2 debounce time 150" but it is not accepted by the sw

How can i configure the debounce timer?

The latest release of EXOS (15.5.3) should have a fix that remove the debounce timer. Please check the RN.

If the switch is connected to another 10 g port
(Switch) then yes. '
All 10g switch to switch connectivity ports must have debounce timer to 150 .

Note: 3rd party vendors have default debounce
Timer as 150
