M5300-52g3 port flapping

I'm having problem with a specific port. As you can see below

Does anyone know what could be it? Why this's the only port flapping around?

    Hi ricardo_C,

     

    Welcome to our community! :)

     

    It seems that port 20 is flapping. It could be better if you could answer the questions below in order for us to help you further:

     

    - May I know if you already tried to isolate the device connected to this port? 

    - Have you tried using another device on port 20?

    - Have you tried to move this device to another port?

    - What is the device connected to this port?

     

    If ever the device is still not updated, please upgrade it to the latest firmware.

     

    I'm looking forward to your reply.

     

    Regards,

      I did not

      - Have you tried using another device on port 20?

      No.

      - Have you tried to move this device to another port?
      No

      - What is the device connected to this port?
      A Computer.

       

      If ever the device is still not updated, please upgrade it to the latest firmware.

      I did.

       

      Obs. 

      Before the NetGear I was using a D-Link on point A and a Tp-Link on poing B connected by SFP port, since the builds is 500m apart each other. I was losing connection between switchs. So I swap the D-Link to NetGear and the problem has been solved. I think it was the D-Link SFP ports the issue. 

      Anyhow Flapping is not doing anything to my network at least. I guess.

      I was wondering if it is any big issue or not.

      Thanks
