I am working on a new site and the client is ahving network connectivity issues. They are on ESXi 5.0
when i run cat vmkernel.log | grep 00:50:56:86:02:ed i get the following.. excessive port closed/enabled every hr few times.
NetPort: 1424: disabled port 0x3000009
followed by
NetPort: 1237: enabled port 0x3000009 with mac 00:50:56:86:02:ed
THis is one of the SQL Servers MAC address as example. Is this normal behaviour as i can imagine it is??
