I suspect a bridge loop...

Can you confirm the following

-None of these ports are looped via cable back to each other
-Bpdufilter is NOT enabled (no spanning-tree bpdufilter enable)
-if a switch or hub is connected to these ports there is no port on that
device that is looped via cable back to another port either on this switch
or the switching infrastructure (via another wall jack, etc.)

I fought a 6509 fire just like the one you are seeing and it was caused by
my third thing to check

Dear Group,

i am facing issue with some ports in 6500 causing the switch to reach
to 100% cpu utilization and loss the functionality,

These ports are access ports repeatedly go from disable state to
forwarding state for many times and then become stable. but due the
transition phase the CPU utilization increase.
