English term or phrase: address flapping issue
30 sec period—long period avoids mac address flapping issues with adjacent physical switches

The 30 second cadence is long enough that it will not cause issues from macs moving around on physical switches.

Address-Flapping; Flappen/(Hin-und Her-)Flickern der Adressen / Adress-/Routing/Routen-Instabilität
Explanation:
With certain network configurations, a piece of network hardware (router, switch) may assign the same (MAC) address on two of its ports, or assign it to them in a quickly alternating sequence, such that proper routing becomes impossible/unstable. (This is then countered by what they call flap damping). AFAIK there is no established G translation of this phenomenon as of yet, but see my suggestions.
