Explanation
This message indicates the possibility of either a broadcast storm or high number of packets entering
the Management port, which is consuming CPU time and could affect other processes.
mportTask handles the Management port interrupts. Interrupts are more than likely generated by traffic
entering this port.
Action
Investigate what is happening on the port. Sniff if possible to determine the traffic pattern.
