6509 High Cpu Utilization

Nov 30, 2007 1 Replies

Hi. We are having a problem with a 6509 and high cpu utilization.



The 6509 is running CAT OS, and running cat6000-sup2k8.8-2-2. The issue is that the Switch will stop all telnet traffic to it as well as kill to console connection. This lasts roughly 10 mins, once we gain access to the switch again we see the following using show proc cpu


89.10% 28.84% 11.68% 0 L3Aging

It seems L3Aging is what is causing the high CPU utilization, the switch however is still passing traffic. It seems to be the MLS Cache that is getting dumped then refreshed.



Does anyone have a clue on what to look for ?



Thanks


route flaps, which will cause you to purge all the flow entries already programmed.

But you really really want to upgrade to IOS and run CEF on it instead, so you get a away from cache/flow based routing.
