CE-565 CPU UTILISATION 100% DUE TO SPAM TRAFFIC

[amitdash]

HI,

I have a ce-565 conifured as a proxy .

it was working fine till recently when due to spam in the network , the cpu utilisation reached 100%

and i had to remove the cache engine.

now whenever i put the cache engine, the network becomes slow.

WIll it become ok if i do a clear cache or do i need to re-format the hard-disks again.Pls suggest.It"s very urgent.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Amit.

Amit,

I don't think clearing the cache will have an effect on that... but you can try it since it does not have nay harm other than erasing cached data.

Make sure that you do not allow access to the cache from the Internet, so only your internal clients can access it. Also, you can configure some sort of authentication (Such as NTLM or LDAP) on the cache.

If those are not options, or do not resolve the issue, then you should open a case up with Cisco TAC.

Hope this helps..
