3750: High CPU After Enabling HSRP

jpl861
Level 4
Level 4

Hi,

I am wondering why our 3750's CPU process increased above 90% after enabling HSRP. It used to be a single SVI until it was converted to HSRP. Can you please help me identify the problem? Thanks in advance.

John

This typically happens when route is not known on the switch resulting in packets punted to CPU.

Can you paste

1-HSRP Config

2-show standby

3-show ip route.

Are you using SDM ?

We are just using the default SDM template.

are you using this command "sdm prefer routing" or "sdm prefer vlan" ?

The CPU is below 20% when we were still not using HSRP. This one is the highest process right now.

70 106474785 689475590 154 63.89% 63.65% 63.25% 0 HLFM address lea

I' reading this right now but cannot find the answer.

Thanks.

sjo2-3750G#sh sdm prefer

The current template is "desktop default" template.

The selected template optimizes the resources in

the switch to support this level of features for

8 routed interfaces and 1024 VLANs.

number of unicast mac addresses: 6K

number of IPv4 IGMP groups + multicast routes: 1K

number of IPv4 unicast routes: 8K

number of directly-connected IPv4 hosts: 6K

number of indirect IPv4 routes: 2K

number of IPv4 policy based routing aces: 0

number of IPv4/MAC qos aces: 0.5K

number of IPv4/MAC security aces: 1K

We are using desktop default.

It seems like "sdm prefer routing" might allocate some resources switch woudl need. I have not tested it myself so cannot guarantee it will fix ur issue.

Thank you sir. Hopefully I can find what the real issue is.
