DHCP Server and unnecessary traffic for your DHCP server.
Have you ever implemented central DHCP server for all of your network (VLANS), and you used a command "IP Helper-Address? The ip helper-address will actually forward many other UDP-based broadcasts to the address specified as tft, dns, time, netbios-ns, netbios-dgm, tacacs, bootpc, bootps etc.
Many times it is generating unnecessary traffic for your DHCP server. Have you applied "ip forward-protocol udp ...." command to prevent this?

Voice VLAN and Port Fast Combination on Cisco Switch
The Port Fast feature is automatically enabled when voice VLAN is configured. When you disable voice VLAN, the Port Fast feature is not automatically disabled.
Why?
I will be share shortly.

Design Tips: Guide for choose VLAN Number
Design Tip— To
ensure optimal convergence for voice traffic Cisco recommends that VLAN
number assignments be mapped such that the most loss-sensitive
applications such as voice are assigned the lowest VLAN numbers on each
physical interface, as shown in table:
VLAN Function
|
VLAN Interface
|
---|---|
Wired_Voice_VLAN
|
7
|
Wireless_Voice_VLAN
|
57
|
Wired_Data_VLAN
|
107
|
Wireless_Multicast_VLAN
|
157
|
Not all VLANs trunked on a specific interface converge at the same time.
Cisco IOS throttles the notifications for VLAN loss to the routing
process (EIGRP/OSPF) at a rate of one every 100 msec. As an example, if
you configure six VLANs per access switch, upon failure of an uplink,
fiber traffic on the sixth VLAN converges 500 msec after the first.
