Hello,
I have a issues with interfaces flapping on all (~50) my switchs 4200G and 5120 (last firmware). This happens especially during office hours.
There is STP on the interfaces but if I display stp bpdu-statistics on interfaces flapping there are no traffic bpdu packet.
There are only PC connected on the interfaces, and log entries are displaying only this.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

SolutionHi @Nicolask !
Does your UP/DOWN pattern look like the following - you see only ports connected to end-hosts flapping and the time of flapping is primarily in three time periods - start of the business day (when people turn on or resume from sleep their PCs), lunch (when people go out for an hour or two and leave their PCs go to standby) and end of the business day?
If this more or less describes what you see, most probably it is energy saving that turns NICs down.
It is important to highlight that in this scenario you won't see any uplinks going UP/DOWN and while users are actively using their PCs they also shouldn't see any "network cable unplugged' errors or interruptions of network connections.

Re: Problem port flapping on HP A5120 and 4200
When I turn off or 'sleep' a pc, the link goes down, so I think the problem come from here.
Now I will test your scenario that there are no uplinks going UP/DOWN while users are actively using their PCs.
Thank you,
