Port movement Detected Logs

I checked into /var/logs/ltm. There where ltm.1.gz to ltm.9.gz files and all of them were full of this log.

 

Oct 26 09:39:43 www notice tmm2[27819]: 01230114:5: port movement detected for 00:14:4f:f8:8d:21, vlan /Common/Internal_vlan_169 none to vlan /Common/Internal

 

What does this log represent? My LTM is connected to cisco Nexus 5548P. 169 is my internal Vlan which is connected to nexu and then to internal servers.

    CR112953 When you start or stop the tcpdump utility on a VIPRION system, the system logs messages similar to the following entries in the /var/log/ltm file: slot1/tmm warning pu[24652]: 01230114:4: port movement detected for 00:01:23:45:67:10, vlan tmm_bp - 0.0 to 0.1 These messages are benign, and you can safely ignore them.
