Hello at all,

i´ve a problem with the cisco 876 integrated services router.
The router´s ios-version is 12.4(11)T4 and it has a ADSL2+ (16 Mbit
downstream  / 1 Mbit upstream) connection.

If i start a download via http (or any other protocol), the cpu load
still remains at 100% until the download ends ...

Are there any solutions for this problem or has anybody the same
problems with this router. I´ve tried other ios-images, but the problem
is still the same.

Greetz, Marco

Perhaps this relates to your choice of switching paths (particularly if
you were using process switching).

Have you enabled CEF globally, and Fast Switching on the interfaces?

e.g.:

ip cef

interface FastEthernet0
  ip route-cache flow

If the problem relates to your choice of switching paths, you might
search for documents with the following titles on the Cisco web site:

- How to Choose the Best Router Switching Path for Your Network

- Performance Tuning Basics

Best Regards,

Try IOS 12.4(6)T11 or 12.4(9)T7 instead.
There was a 30 percent CPU usage increase for the 870 routers with
12.4(11)T according to
<http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4t/release/notes/124TFEAT.html#wp1533957>

Disable the IPS feature.
Try to disable the http inspection rule and use the generic tcp
inspection instead if looking for less CPU usage.

Also 12.4(15)T6 is worth a trial (I don't use the newer T7, as I found
serious tracebacks in the T7 rebuild)
