INFO MAC_MOVE on Port with AP connected
I keep getting these mac moves on a port running 2.5 GB to a Cisco Catalyst Wireless AP and feel like it is why it keeps loosing connection. This is a new AP i'm testing and it looks like the switch is doing the same thing for the Old AP on Te1/0/2 so its only doing this on the two AP but not sure why.

Hi, thanks for choosing Dell. It looks like you roamed from one AP to another and then back to the first within a fairly short time. That's all. It's just a warning that the your mac address is moving around, which is normal if the person moves the device. Nothing serious. This is common alert messages on AP(Wireless device connected switches). Hope this helps.

Except the Mac address that keeps moving back and forth is the Mac of the AP and not a client on the AP which seems odd. I am still in the testing phase of these new AP's and there is only one AP online and two clients which are me on them so it cannot be moving back and for between AP's. Is this still normal behavior and I did the latest firmware update on my N3248PXE-ON

If the AP MACs are moving it's not a client roaming between them.
If Tw1/0/1 is sort of an uplink to other network components I can imagine two potencial issues here:
1) Traffic for VLAN1 is bridged from wireless AP back to the wired network on another path than the Dell switch (mesh connection to another AP for example)
2) VLAN 1 traffic is getting looped back from the device connected to Tw1/0/1
An effective way to proove what is going on would be a monitoring (mirroring) the traffic going through Tw1/0/1.
