Naming issue on older M8024 Switches

I believe those are the external facing interfaces. What modules are installed on the switch? What devices connect to those modules? The command show interfaces should give you a list of the interfaces for reference.

Hi Daniel,

thanks for this info. I found out it is a switch blade ... but i still cannot identify the port:

Any idea ?

You will probably find that the interfaces in port channel 1 are receiving and sending BPDUs. You can use the show statistics command to view the counters on the interfaces. All the other interfaces are internal server-facing interfaces, and typically should not show any BPDUs. These stats, along with the external facing interfaces only connecting to one device, would leave a high probability that the N7k is where the topology changes are coming in from. 

Have you checked the N7k logging to see if it is receiving any topology changes? Are spanning tree priorities manually configured throughout the network?
