4900M: CPU receive Q "L3 Glean, 6"

[azzurrow1]

Hi,

on a Cisco 4900M running IOS Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Software (cat4500e-ENTSERVICESK9-M), Version 15.0(2)SG1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc4)

I'm getting a lot of packets on CPU Q "L3 Glean, 6".

What is that queue and what could be the root cause?

Thanks.

Wolfgang

Usually those are caused by packets going to an IP address that requires arp resolution.  

(if it has an incomplete or no entry in the arp table, and packets are going to this ip address they will be punted to the CPU)
