Cisco Switching/Routing :: Catalyst 3850 - Normal To See 30% Cpu Usage When Idle?
Apr 18, 2013
We have a new stack of two Catalyst 3850-48T's running IOS XE 3.02.00 (we are upgrading to 3.02.01 this weekend.)We noticed the CPU usage is around 30% even when there is almost no traffic going through the switch. We haven't seen any indication that it is causing a problem, but is this considered a normal baseline?I attached my config (with passwords sanitized,) show ver, show controllers utilization, and show process cpu history.
I noticed this behavior is normal on 2900XL/3500XL switches, but I didn't find anything relating it to 3850 switches. Does the same thing apply to the 3850 switches? [code] url...

Based on what i am reading on the Catalyst 3850 datasheet, the controller functionality comes by default if i have a IP Base of IP Services license on the switch. Is this correct or do i need additional license to enable the controller functionality?What capabilities does below license provide ?
LIC-CT3850-UPG (Primary upgrade license SKU for Cisco 3850 wireless controller)

I have Cisco 800 series (888w) with BRI-ISDN port. Is there any way to change the usage of ISDN port to normal RJ45 port?I want to use this SOHO router to sharing connection.

We're having kind of a problem with our Catalyst 4507r switches. If we do a "show interface" command we're getting a lot of "Total output drops" on some of our interfaces. It seems to be most of the time on the same vlan.I was wondering if it has got something to do with QOS or queue selection As we don't have any QOS markings configured, is it possible that all traffic is using only one of the four tx queue's?

I'm trying to do password recovery on a Catalyst 3850 switch..I've read the section in this: url...where it says that I need to have physical access to the switch (I do), and that I reset the password if I issue a break command and interrupt the boot procedure. I've tried to do that... it gives me the "switch:" prompt, so I think I've interrupted the boot procedure successfully, but, what do I do next?I've successfully done recoveries on Catalyst 2950s, 3550s & 3560s, but the procedure for this one, if I'm reading the link above right, sounds like it's completely different.

I understand that Cisco *wants* the APs to be directly connected to the new 3850.I have a few questions. Unfortunately, I think I know the answers. I just want to confirm.
a. When MA/MC is enabled on the 3850, does the 3850 start intercepting *all* CAPWAP packets it sees (much like CDP)? Even non-Cisco CAPWAP packets?
b. If I have a WLC 5500 upstream from the 3850, would APs hanging off a downstream 2960 be able to register to the 5500 through the 3850 when the 3850 is NOT in MA/MC mode?
c. If I have a WLC 5500 upstream from the 3850, would APs hanging off a downstream 2960 be able to register to the 5500 through the 3850 when the 3850 IS in MA/MC mode?
What I'm afraid of is:
a. yes, yes
b. yes
c. no
From the Q&A page:Q. Does the Cisco Catalyst 3850 support indirectly connected access points?A. No. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch will always terminate the CAPWAP tunnel locally. Pass-through mode or indirectly connected access point is not supported at this time.

I just started a evaluation license for IP Base on my 3850 switches. But i can't configure HSRP cause the commands are not there (I rebooted allready). Do you need enterprise for HSRP on the 3850?

What is the preferred access switch for new deployment. Choosing between 3850 and 3750x. I have to say that the 3850 wireless features will not be used in this deployment and 4 switch for stack is enough... Looked and read everything that I found in the press, I can not make an informed choice. I bow to 3850, but I was apprehensive following circumstances:1) not too positive reviews2) to long list of open caveats3) to long list of features are not supported in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.0SE4) IOS XE : (With regard to the first three points - yes, I understand that the product is new and it has not gone further stage of "childhood diseases" ...Regarding the fourth point - I understand correctly that this is the direction to be moving Cisco Systems and soon all products migrate from classical IOS to IOS XE and so on?

With my brand new Cisco 3850 Switch, I got it configured with a LAN IP. Then, on my PC I opened up Cisco Network Assistant (version 5.8.5.1 which supports the 3850). I went to add the 3850 to the community by discovering the device, and was prompted with the user/pass box. The password I set was not allowing me to connect, and I realized it's because a username was required and I had not set up a username on the switch. So, I then configured an admin user with level 15 privileges on the switch. However, now when in CNA I try to add the 3850 to the community, it doesn't even prompt me for user/pass, it just says "unable to connect".
What do I need to do to add this 3850 to my community?

I have configured my new 3850 using the command line and all works well. I logged into the web interface expecting to see device manager with a pretty image of the switch etc.
However I am presented with the Express Setup page and even if i fill in all of the details again and click submit then nothing happens and this is all I can get.
I have version 03.02.01SE software.

I just completed installation of a stacked pair of 3850s in my datacenter. While I was installing them, I noticed that the lights on ports 1-8 on one of the switches were on solid even though there were no cables connected to that switch. I don't see anything in the logs or anywhere else in the CLI that indicate a problem, however the lights remain on. This only happens on switch 1, not switch 2. Once I plugged the cable into port 1, it flashes normally with activity, but 2-8 remain on solid even though nothing is connected to them.
Before I put the switches in place, I had configured them at my desk with the console connection, and those lights were not lit up.
The indicators on the front of both switches are set in STAT mode. I thought initially I had hit the button and flipped it to a different mode, but that is not the case.

I have a network coming up for a switch refresh. Management is pushing for 2960s and I would like 3850s. We are running Cisco Voice and Video over the network. I saw a few things that seemed to be in favor of a Layer 3 switch vs. a Layer 2 switch. Some items like better performance due to switching based on IP vs. switching based on MAC. Some information that will show the 3850 to be a better choice or that the 2960 is capable.

I pulled a brand new Cisco 3850 Switch out of the box yesterday. Following the Quick Start Guide, I put in the power module, powered it on, and waited for it to complete POST. Then, I plugged in an Ethernet cable between a laptop and the switch on a port in the front, and went to the web interface at https://10.0.0.1. I got to the Express Setup, and attempted to change the IP address of the switch to an IP on my LAN, along with other options. When clicking submit, it didn't appear to take. Upon refreshing in the Express Setup, the IP config was blank, so I once again configured it. This time clicking submit brought up a message that it was changing the IP address. I waited for it to finish, and when it looked done, I powered the switch off and took it to a different room to hook it up to the LAN for further configuration.
When plugging in the power at that point, the switch starts through the normal light process (System LED blinks green slowly), and then eventually the System LED blinks green very fast and never stops. It doesn't get to the point of having the system loaded and ready to log into. There's no amber lights, just the System LED flashing green fast. On the back, the Power module and all bay lights are green, and the Console light is green, but the Management port light is off.
I've tried using the reset button on the back of the switch two different times to reset it to default configuration, thinking I hosed it somehow, but it never goes past the fast blinking System LED.

Is there any official Cisco reference to describe what is considered to be the highest acceptable production CPU load on 2800 routers? I found the document "Integrated Services Routers G2 - Performance Overview" that states at page 5,Most service providers set their CPU alarms to 60 or 65 percent. Many enterprise customers are comfortable running production networks with CPU around 70 or 75 percent.

we recently upgraded our 3560 switches to the new 12.2-55 ios version but have not upgraded our 6509 because its ios is on 12.2(33)SXJ1. Not sure if this is related or not but it seems that after we upgraded to the later ios that the latency started.over the last 24 hours the spike is several times an hour and at least one a day that it hits the 90 - 100 % mark.is there a way that we can limit what snmp view but would not effect functionality or network?

I was checking some things on my Cisco 4500 and spot checking some of the ports. Using CNA it says it is at 10. The web browser to the switch says Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, link type is auto, media type is 10/100/1000-TX on port 6i/18 The CNA says, so what would cause the difference?

we're running 4 c4500 Switches at 2 sites connected to each other via Layer-2 crypto boxes and VPLS in a point-to-multipoint configuration which ist completely transparent (it's more or less like connecting them via a Hub - every switch sees the other 3 ones as neighbors). Our basic configs have udld globally enabled in aggressive mode. I wanted to disable that for the interfaces (routed ports) to the crypto boxes, because I don't want them in ErrDisabled for 5 minutes if there are connectivity problems in the VPLS-cloud (every switch also had 3 UDLD neighbors because of the P2MP configuration). In if-config mode I could do this simply with "udld port disable", but I thougt it would be better to run normal mode (not aggressive) to have the chance to use the UDLD show-commands. So I configured "udld port" for the affected interfaces.

I am confused on how acl's respond on normal cisco switch (eg.6500) when applied on respective vlans. this is my scenario:on a 6506, i have 2 main vlans in question: Vlan 100 ( vendor1 - 172.16.100.0/24 ) & Vlan 200 ( vendor2 - 172.16.200.0/24 ). the requirement is,
- vendor1 should be able to access/ping vendor2 end points
- vendor2 should not be able to access/ping vendor1 end points
Now, if i ping from a host 172.16.100.11 in vlan 100 to another host 172.16.200.21 in vlan 200, will i be able to get a successful response ?

I have a 512MB USB Flash device and was able to boot the IOS on the C2960 from it.After that i tried to Copy the IOS file from the USB to the system flash, but it could not find the USB Device.At plugging in the device the systems tells me: "Transfer type 2 not supported" I configured the USB device in NTFS and FAT both are able to boot with the ROMMON, but the normal system does not accept them and i know i can do the copy over a TFTP from my laptop, but it is strange that rommon accepts the usb device and the system does not?

We recently configured a stack of four 48 port 3750-x switches . We are noticing high CPU usage. "Hulc LED process" seems pretty high. This has coincided with VMware servers getting slow and non-responsive at times, perhaps a coincidence, not sure. Below I provided some outputs about how to diagnose it.

The process "HL3U bkgrd proce" is causing high CPU usage issues in a switch 3750X-24T-L. The IOS is 15.0.2-SE2.
show platform ip unicast failed route and adjacencies displays a lot of entries, I've seen up to 1200.
After restart HL3U bkgrd proce takes around 10 - 20 % CPU, some hours later 99%.
A coupe of times we got logs like this:

I had a lot of problems with TCAM table in the past and made changes in SDM ended whit that. But now want to be proactive and anticipate the problems in my TCAM table.
If the my template is "default desktop" they support a number of indirect IPv4 routes of 2k. I wanna know automatically by my management tools if this number reaches 1.9k.
That way I can take corrective actions before the problems starts on my network.
