Hi ,
I am runnnig 7.07 in pix 525 with the following problems :
1.Cpu utilzation is extermely high. (52%)
If I analyse the cpu profile will that incerase the utlization further?
2.My pixes have failed and crash thread is fover_serial_rx and it is showing block memory exhaustion both count and low is showing 0 in the crash .
Though there is a bug CSCsh32241 but it has been resolved in this code .
3.My config is very big so if I use turbo ACl how will it impact the performance .
Thnks in advance

Hi ,
Was just expecting if some one has any ideas on this

TurboACL - do you have a large amount of ACL's in config - if yes then use turbo ACL 1 time to compile them - then it should run a little better (performance-wise)
CPU load - how much traffic is passing through the device ?
....just my thoughts on this

I thought I saw similar thread a while ago on this issue, you may want to do a search in security forum on high cpu pix 7.0, I believe mention of getting out of 7.0 and alteast use 7.2 as this version is much more statble, check bug tool database pertaining 7.0.

Jorge,
What do base this information on? How do
you determine that 7.2 is much more stable
than version 7.0.7?
Version 7.0.7 is more stable than version
7.2 because 7.0.7 is GD while 7.2 is ED
(Early Deployment).

I think my post was very clear ! based on reading threads and end user reports .

I would have to agree with Jorge, as would most.

How would you explain the fact that 7.0(7) is
GD while 7.2 is ED? I was informed by Cisco
TAC that GD is for General Deployment, means
that this is very stable code release. Early
Deployment, ED, means the code in its early
deployment phase and it is not as stable as
General Deployment.
Am I wrong about this?

I am currently running 7.2 on all my PIX's without problems - so maybe a good idea to upgrade....

Hi,
Thanks for ur replies
I would upgarde to 7.2.3 and see if anything good actaully comes from it.
But it does have some bugs realted to 7.2.3 : memory problem
and crash is due to block memory exhaution .
Any ideas on cpu profile activates ?
how does that impact cpu utilization
