Switch is showing a macflap error

Symptom

The switch you have installed a Genians Network Sensor to is reporting a mac flap involving the port that the sensor is connected to.

Cause

The Network Sensor sends a spoofed Virtual MAC as part of its internal AP detection mechanism, which occasionally results in a mac flap.
