do the following.

go to debug mode - command is 'llama'

load symbol-table.

execute cpu hog.

Press 'd' several times to get a list of active processes.

then do unload symbol-table.

gduf-css11000-1(debug)# symbol-table load

Loading string table... 583,460

Loading symbols........ 21,561

Load complete.......... 1,100,924

gduf-css11000-1(debug)# cpu hog

Thanks for quick response.

Output is in attached file.

Thanks,

Colin.

all these processes are responsible to handle traffic.

Seems like you have reach some limit.

Get a 'flow stat' from llama mode so we can see amount of connections.

Gilles.

Thanks Giles,

Cheers,

Colin,

that's not that much of flows, but it depends what kind of rules you have.

Any L7 rule ?

Do you have some acl logging ?

Do you have a lot of keepalives ?

I can confirm the processes consuming the cpu are the ones handling the traffic.

So, this box is running at its max.

Gilles.

Gilles,

Thankyou for the information. As a result we looked at the traffic flow in more detail through the CSS and it appears that we have some type of looping FIN/ACK traffic which is generating high volumes of small packets.

When this traffic is blocked the CSS CPU returns to normal (4-5%).

Thankyou for your assistance.

Kind Regards,

Colin.
