Cisco WAN :: High CPU (99%) Utilization Of 4507 Switch
Dec 21, 2011
I am facing lots of issue with cisco 4507 switch recently.. Every alternate day, its CPU is getting utilized by 99% and network stopped working..finally it has to be restared.
Below is the CPU utilization of the process:-
------------------ show process cpu ------------------
CPU utilization for five seconds: 99%/0%; one minute: 99%; five minutes: 99%
PID Runtime(ms) Invoked uSecs 5Sec 1Min 5Min TTY Process
we have 2 catalyst 4507 Switches (Catalyst 4507-R running 15.1.2.release) configured in VRRP and vlans are distributed across both the switches.For few vlans core1 is master and for remaining vlans core2 is master.Both cores showing different CPU utilization.when we did our troubleshooting,we realized that the server vlan on core1 (Core1 is master for this vlan) is creating high utilization.when we switched this server vlan to core2 the core1 utilization came down and core2 utilization increased.we identified that server vlan is culprit in this issue. i would like to know weather any method is available in core switch wherein i can check which server in this vlan is contributing for this utilization.(To identify the server which contribute this utilization,we can actually shut 1 server each at time to see weather utilization is going down.with this kind of testing ideally we should be able to identify the server but this will disturb the server environment which we don't want in live environment)
We are facing issue of high Latency and slowness with Switch Cisco 4507R at the Customer site.show logging for the Switch and if there is any IOS related issue [BUG] or some other finding for this case.
I am getting High CPU utilization in one of my switch which has many layer 3 vlan interface and many other routing interface.In the o/p of show process cpu i get 64 % CPU utilization. The o/p is as below
And rest of the other process are very normal. Only cat4k Mgmt LoPri is consuming very high cpu utilization. I have checked all the interface input queue and all are very normal.
We are facing a weird problem of high CPU utilization on 3560 switch. Even without connecting a single PC to switch, CPU utilization is showing 22 %. Any particular reason for this? Can configuration affect the CPU utilization even though there is no PC connected?
In Cisco 3750 facing high CPU utilization for specific period. During this period traffic response times across the switch degrades. Steps to identify interface potentially generating traffic. I have attached 'sh proc cpu history' , ' sh ip traffic', 'sh proc cpu sorted' during troubled period .
I am a new network engineer on a retail company and I am having a problem on the High utilization of my 3-stack switch 2960 only during Peak Hours of the Store Sales.
Note: on Peak hours, it is peaking at 90-95 % here is the utilization after Peak hours: 4444333334444433333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
I have been facing High CPU Utilization issue with few of my Cisco 4006 Switches together from last one month. Out of which 1 switch issue sorted out auto after 2 days however the problem is still exists with rest 3 switches.They are 6-7 year old and having one SUP engine and other are switch port modules.
i am seeing very high utilization on a random basis on the stack. and the logs indicate me that there is a pattern where there is a stack power cable shows inserted (which was never unplugged) followed by sudden spike in the utilization.
001018: *Mar 6 16:21:22.138: %PLATFORM_STACKPOWER-6-CABLE_EVENT: Switch 4 stack power cable 1 inserted 001019: *Mar 6 18:18:37.982: %SYS-1-CPURISINGTHRESHOLD: Threshold: Total CPU
We had a core switch(30 vlans) in our environment and it's noticed that CPU utilization of the core switch is showing high during recent days. I have checked logs and processes, but couldn't find the root cause. The issue found only in the office hourly only(after that the cpu utilization is idle and normal). I have already referred the following link to troubleshoot the issue " [URL]
see the following outputs from the core switch
CPU utilization for five seconds: 99%/0%; one minute: 99%; five minutes: 99% PID Runtime(ms) Invoked uSecs 5Sec 1Min 5Min TTY Process 30 6687557041432420936 466 47.52% 47.10% 45.98% 0 Cat4k Mgmt LoPri 55 30667074884269560256 0 45.36% 45.50% 45.85% 0 IP Input 29 28552856922870089254 0 3.59% 3.50% 3.57% 0 Cat4k Mgmt HiPri
[code]....
Note: Each Invalid source mac entry in each day from same port (above is the output after clearing logs before 3 days)
My queries regarding the issues are following
1) How can we find root cause regarding the high cpu utilization?
2) Is a single invalid mac address makes the cpu highly utilized for suppressing it?
We have a problem of igh CPU Utilization in Cisco 4510R-with dual SUP V-10G modules.
Cisco 4510R switch is the CORE switch and have 30 no's of VLans. It was running PVST/PVST+ previously. But Now we have migrated to MST. But after upgradation the CPU utilization reached alomst 98%.
We have also tried Loopguard feature enabled on all ports: but after some period same problem is repeated.

In my network we use all cisco 2960 switches, problem is when someone copying 4gb data or high from one switch to another switch, by that time rto (Request time out) is coming.
router | | |
[Code]....
1. when user 1 copy data from server ,at that time who is in switch2 behind like user2 ,he is getting problem like when ping to default-gateway,or rto is coming and network is very slow .
2. when i open sw2,sw1,sw3,trunk ports utilization is very high except sw4 to sw1 trunk ports,who behind sw4 like user4 ,he is not getting problem.
3.all switches trunkport in my network is faster ethernet and i have no option to connect trunkport to gigaehternet and ethernet channel.
I upgraded the newest IOS 15.0(1)SE for our SW C2960-24-TT-L, the process was succeseful. However, we found SW memory utilization raised to 82% this morning in normal situation. (Momery: Total 21341260, Used17471692) Did you guys meet the same problem after upgrading to 15.0(1)SE? I also would like to know what the normal memory utilization is? and what is the impact of memory utilization highly?
I upgrade the IOS of my switch 3560 from C3560-IPBASE-M), Version 12.2(25)SEB4, To C3560-IPBASEK9-M), Version 12.2(55)SE5 after that the utilizatio of the memory increase to 80% I attached the output of show memory statistics history
WS-C3750G-24TS-S1U switch stack with high CPU utilization. 3 switches are stacked and using PBR on that. I am attaching the show cpu process as an attachment.The current template is "desktop routing" template.The selected template optimizes the resources in the switch to support this level of features for 8 routed interfaces and 1024 VLANs.

Our Router 7606 is in a problem with high CPU Utilization. We are using one EBGP and one IBGP session. We are also running OSPF with area 0 between two IBGP router to exchange few local networks. When bandwidth cross 100 MB than only CPU use become 100%. when bandwidth consumption is 80MB CPU use become 80% end so on.
Out put is when bandwidth consumption is 34MB

I have a hight CPU utilisation problem in my CISCO7609-S routers. the cpu utilisation can rise 99% et this is usually. In the moment of hight CPU the the process CPU give the following:
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?
I am observing very high CPU utilization on my Cisco 7206VXR (NPE-G1) Router. We have done all the necessary troubleshooting but not able to identify root cause. [code]
I am running Cisco Prime 4.2(UNIX version) on a VM. CPU utilization will run between 90 and 100% constantly. Reloading the server will stabilize the CPU for a short period of time, however the CPU usage will always return to 90-100% utilization. Currently I have about 130 devices added to the system.
we have 2 Cisco C4507 Switches working As Core Layer, but the CPU Utilization is about 54% most of the time and sometimes it goes up to 70% or 80% also.
which services are causing this utilization. [code]
I am working as net admin which is i need to monitoring and manage my workplace network( education center )I got a few question about network traffic flow. Here is the issued.I got high bandwidth utilization so high after office hours which is only on night. as we know, after office hours there is no person at the office but the traffic flow on bandwidth utilization is high.what are the possibilities of this issued?
I have Cisco 7613 on my edge(MPLS Backbone). CPU utilization is shooting to 100% at frequent intervals. When I tell vendors managing device they tell that it is happening due to one of my server(connected on Fast ethernet port of 100Mbps) generating heavy traffic. My questions are:
1. Can a router of 720Gbps capability be choked due to traffic generated by 100Mbps link?
2. Interrupt CPU process utilization is well below 10% at the said time. BGP router process consumes most of the CPU. Does this means that server in question is generating too many routing updates?
3. Is there any way that I can limit routing updates on a particular link?
4. how to check which link is causing more CPU utilization.
My router is running with BGP (One eBGP and One IBGP session). I have filterdown the BGP roting table by using prefix-List and default route to upstream router.But still found the CPU process is high (80%/80% with 60MB traffic).

I have Active Standby ASA5550 setup with VPN premium license. A few days back we had a requirement of SSL VPN connection for and we got a temporary from Cisco for same, this license expired and the ASA reverted to it's original license. 3 4 days after this we saw a sudden increase in CPU utilization (upto 90% + -5%) on the ASA during production hours but were not able to figure out the reason, in order to restore the services we failovered the firewall to secondary and everything worked fine. We were suspecting one of the following but there were no logs for any of this
1. The ASA hardware was haivng problem
2. Some client was doing a DoS attack to bring down the ASA (no logs for this as well).
We took a downtime to look further by failovering the ASA back to primary and it worked fine without any issues ruling out the 1st option. We also came across a licesing doc [URL]
Downgrading any license (for example, going from 10 contexts to 2 contexts).
# Note If a temporary license expires, and the permanent license is a downgrade, then you do not need to immediately reload the security appliance; the next time you reload, the permanent license is restored.
As per this doc, sooner or later a restart was required on the ASA. We restarted secondary ASA and everthing was fine but when we restarted the primary ASA by swtiching over to secondary some of the server (not all) in the DMZ stopped working (even ICMP unreachable) and only came back to normal when the primary ASA was restored and working fine (with failover).
The reboot was done by shuting down the physical link between the Core switch and ASA inside individually.
I am not sure what could be the issue that the servers in the DMZ wen unreachable.
We have a CISCO 7604 Router (GGSN) in our customer site. Since two weeks are observing high CPU utilization (even touching 100 percent). We performed a SNMP configuration on this routers 2 weeks back as well. But SNMP process is not consuming much CPU resources. The following is the output of the "show proc cpu" and "show proc cpu history.
