Cisco Switching/Routing :: 2811 High CPU And Low Throughput
Aug 10, 2011
I am facing a problem on a 2811 router. The CPU is remaining around 60% and the router throughput is reaching at most 18 MB while according to the data sheet the 2811 maximum throughput is 61MB. I have checked the output interpreter in order to try and figure out the cause of the high CPU and to determine if it is affecting throughput but there are not processes consuming more than 10%. I have attached the show tech-support and the show process cpu history outputs.

I'll have to replace an old WS-C3550-24. Reasons for this: EOL/EOS & we'll need a NAT capable device...
As I understood, the only L3 catalyst that is able to perform NAT is a 6500? Is that correct? If the above is correct, it seems I can only replace the setup by using a router/ASA with a L2 switch. A router with high throughput (+/- 300Mbps) is hard to find, especially as NAT will require CPU resources...
So, my best (affordable price) solution is getting an ASA5520 (450Mbps FW throughput) and a L2 switch?

We currently are using 2811 router for internet Via IPSEC tunnel.Download speed is 30 Mbps and Upload speed is 6 Mbps.
But we are getting not more than 4 Mbps download speed. We did open Tac case and as per Tac 2811 router is not for 30 Mbps.Can any suggest proper model. We need 2 FastEthernet/Gig and one serial port.

When a physical switchport/routed port has high usage, you can move the link to a higher capacity port, upgrade the port, bond links, etc. What exactly do you do when an SVI has high usage? I guess you could remove some servers from the VLAN, but that doesn't seem like a reasonable solution. What dictates the capacity of an SVI? The backplane of the switch?

I have a 3640a, 3550 and airopoint 350 I use for my home internet connection. I know it's old equipment, but it's all I could afford at the time. Directly plugged into my modem I get about 10 mb/s, plugged into a switch port no greater than 6, and about 5-6 when connected to wireless which is understandable because it's only wireless B. I'm going to downgrade my connection for the time being as I'm paying for excess bandwidth that I'm unable to use, but any more recent, affordable cisco routers that can handle a high speed cable connection? What kind of throughput does the 3550 get? Cisco states a throughput of approximately 45-60mb/s for the 3640a.

I have found recently that Cisco 1905 router is having a throughput of only 10 Mb. But the router is having 2 Gig ports!.My understanding is that throughput is the data packetforwarding done by a router at a time.
What is actually mean by throughput of a router. How the router can handle 1 Gb of data from interfaces at a time?

We have a problem with the throughput over etherchannel in LACP with 2 or 4 ports. It is iSCSI traffic (vmware esxi 4.1 U3) is going from 2 separate NICs (ports) to the etherchannel (with 2 or 4 ports) that has a SAN connected (Nexenta).
The SAN is configured in passive LACP and the switch is in active LACP. Actually it does not matter if we do LACP or just MODE ON, still same result: ~1GBit/s throughtput in either direction. Like already mentioned, 2 or 4 ports in the etherchannel make no difference, or the configuration of the etherchannel.
I will post some config data below, but here is the question: Why can't we see traffic beyond 1GBit/s? Source and destination are capable of doing much more than that (vmware esxi RAID 5 of 1TB SATA; SAN 16 x 1TB NL-SAS). If we look with CNA, we can see that the traffic is balanced equally over the etherchannel ports. With or without QOS or flowcontrol, no difference. This whole traffic happenes on this switch.

I have a 2811 that is really hitting the CPU hard. Nothing shows on CPU processes. It has an IPsec VPN tunnel back to HQ which also has a 2811 that terminates the VPN. The HQ has 2-3 IPsec tunnels to other remote sites. The CPU at the HQ avg 50% utilization during business hrs, peaks at about 80%. The remote one is very high 95% peaks, avg 80%-95% during business hours with bandwidth utilization of only 10-20Mbps. I read somewhere that its possible that fragmentation could be causing this. My question is, if I set the MTU to 1450 on the remote, I am guessing I will need to do all the other routers as well, the HQ and other remote sites? Siince they use the same outside interface to my HQ, is that correct?

When transferring traffic between two VLANs my throughput rate seems to drop to about 1.5 - 3.0 megabits / second.
My setup is like this...
Two Nexus 5020 switches. (switch01 and switch02)
Two Nexus 2232PP fabric extender switches. (switch03 and switch04)
Two Dell R815s with Chelsio and Intel NICs. (host1 and host2)
The servers run Xenserver 6.0, but as part of testing with this I've tried installing RedHat 6.2, VMware ESX 5.0 (vsphere 5).
The issue occurs when using trunking and transferring data from one VLAN to another. Example...
VM1 is in VLAN401 with an IP address of 10.100.40.40. The VM is on Host1. VM2 is in VLAN402 with an IP address of 10.100.50.50. The VM is on Host2.
I've been using a network throughput tool called iPerf to test and I find that I can only get a throughput rate of about 3.0megabits.
If I switch VM2 to be in VLAN401 with an IP address of 10.100.40.41 I get a throughput rate of about 6.7gigabits/sec.
In the above scenario, I'm using a Layer3 interface on the Nexus 5020, but in production we use a Vyatta virtual firewall.
I worked with Citrix for about 3 months and that was a dead end.

I realize this is just a small business switch, basically a rebranded Linksys, but why I'm only getting 200Mbits/s
- 48 port - 10/100/1000 , set to standalone mode
- 3 separate PCs on this switch , all are fast machines with Core 2 duo / plenty of RAM etc...
- all 3 auto-sense 1Gbps connection
I use iperf tool for bandwidth testing and no matter which PC I pick as server, which as client I get about 150 to 250Mbits/s
I am not looking for full 1000 here, but 200 seems rather sad....
- jumbo frames seem to make no difference
- I am using TCP test in iperf , standard no extra flags , 10 seconds, 20 seconds or even 30 seconds all come out the same.
- wiring is shady as some of it is just Cat5 , but when going from one laptop on the switch to another with brand new Cat6 cables I STILL only got 200.

I am currently using catalyst 4506 L3 switch and 2950 L2 switches for pc's which are EOL. I am replacing L3 with 3750X, two switches in a stack. L2 is 2960S all with gbps ports. I have to have a baseline (performance comparison with the current setup and new setup) and I am using the following methods
1. Iperf throughput comparison among local vlans
2. Iperf throughput comparison with remote data centers servers.
3. Ping/ftp upload/download comparison with remote DC's. FTP file is around 3GB.
Today I have tested the above with the new setup and compared it with the old setup. For the tasks 1 & 3 I found better performance with the new setup. However the task 2 did not show any performance increase infact the throughput was much lower comparing to the old setup.

I have a router 2811 and shows high CPU utilization 90%, it is observed that this happens when the traffic increases, the router also has firewall enabled services, QoS, DHCP, ACLs, NAT. As my router could not determine what is appropriate for my use, and how it could choose a router that meets my needs.

there is no logging in the access-list (there is only one inbound access list).Using QoS or not, doesn't seem to make a differenceAll route-caching features are ON. (CEF, Flow, Policy, Fast)Yet the minimum CPU utilisation I have seen is 25%/25%... On average it's 40% during the day, but once traffic picks up to around 6000 packets per second, the router is gone...I have a 50/50 Mbps connection, but I can use only 6 for VoIP ?

I'm trying to identify a Cisco router that will give 300+Mbps through a 1Gb WAN port. I think the 1921 can get up to around 300Mbps with the on board RJ45 ports, but are there any other/better suitable models?
There's no need for any other particular functionality or feature set, the routers aren't doing anything fancy or unusual - it's the achieved throughput that's important.

We are having issues with our Cisco 2811 when there a lot of traffic on the device. Usually the router is down around 5%-10%. Total traffic might be around 2.0 MB. This is a router we are using at a remote campus. We do HD video conferencing every friday. We have a 10 MB internet connection that has our VPN connection to the main campus on it. While doing these VTC, the totall traffic is about 6 MB. The CPU Utilization then rises to approx 75% cause call issues and loss of sound. With another test with no one using the connection for anything else the utilization went up to 35%. The router has 128 MB Ram in it. Does the router need more RAM or do we need a larger internet pipe.

I have a 2811 Router that is experiencing high CPU utilization. I have already issued the "show cpu proc" command, and everything seems to be fine (it's not a process issue) . According to our traffic graphs, we've seen that CPU is related to high link utilization, since we have 2 Fast Ethernet interfaces (Internet 4 MB and MPLS 6 MB), and when those interfaces have to deal with a lot of traffic at some hours, the CPU Load increases in the Router.
I found an article where they say that 2811 ISR Routers can deal with up to 61,44 Mbps (120.000 pps), but our router is far away from reaching that limit.It usually manages up to 16 MBPS. This router manages some services such as NAT traslation, ACLs, voice traslation profiles, policy routing (QoS), firewall and DHCP.
What can be happening to the router?.. Is it normal that when it has to process a lot of traffic, its cpu must increase up to 95%, even if it is handling just 16 MB compared to the theorical 61 MB? Is there any command or tool that I could use to troubleshoot this issue? Is there any limit in terms of WAN traffic that it could handle? How much influence do those services have over CPU Utilization?
Given these incidents, which router series could suit better in my network to avoid high CPU issues?

We are experiencing output drops on our 3750G-12S (IOS 12.2.55).
I have monitored throughput with MRTG, but it doesn't seem that high compared to that the 3750G is supposed to handle 17.8 Mpps.
The 3750G's are stacked, running ospf, qos, multicast (IPTV) and etherchannel.Is the maximum throughput reduced by stacking or any of the other features?
I don't know if one can estimate what the maximum throughput is per ASIC or per port, but on one of the ASICs that is having drops the peak unicast load is 1.3 Mpps and multicast Mpps is 0.9 Mpps. Total ~2.2 Mpps.
This doesn't seem high at all and I don't understand why the drops are appearing. What I can do to find out the reason for these drops?

I am seeing a strange situation on my 6500 switch?By having snmp walk on '1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3' (== cpmCPUTotal5sec), I came to know that there are two processor and the cpu util for switching processor is gone to 88 % and some time creeps to 99 %.
snmpwalk -v2c -c "removes" sw6500 '1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3'
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3.1 = Gauge32: 12 (--- this is for CPU of Router Processor )
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3.3 = Gauge32: 99 (--- this is for CPU of Switching Processor )
but when I do sh process cpu on the console, all looks normal as it shows cpu utilization of RP. why the value is so high on the switching processor ?
