Hello Khan,

what speed are the WAN links?

there is any chance that a lot of traffic is expected / arriving for the new subnet loading the devices.

Have you verified routes consistency in the few minutes you can still access the devices (have you verified there is no routing loop with a traceroute from a remote site for example)

you can check also the FW log and FW routing table.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

there are good links in Cisco online for high cpu troubleshooting. Do "sh proc cpu" and you can see which process is taking up the cpu, and if it is caused by traffic volume.

You could capture the output while problem occur and start from there.
