And what did you see before that? For example, when was the ARP
request sent, and how many of them? When were replies sent? 

Do you have any information when the link on tyour switch was
established?

Is there any chance that you have duplicated MAC and/or IP addresses
on your network?

Are you using STP etc. on your switches?

Can you read out the error statistics for the respective ports on
your switch?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
