6509 High CPU

niro
Level 1
Level 1

I'm having a problem on our network with eigrp flapping on our routers, I've narrowed it down to one of our 6509's that's showing high cpu utization...in the log I get holding time expired events for EIGRP (the other routers get peer restarted)...I'm not sure if the high cpu is because of the eigrp flapping or the eigrp flapping is because of high cpu...I'm assuming the high cpu is causing it because all the neighbors flap, not just one router.

Here are some of the show outputs:

any idea what else I can check to see what's causing these issues?

Ok looks like I was wrong...I think the eigrp updates are causing the high cpu since the neighbors have the same high cpu utilization problem. They all say peer restarted, while this one says holding time expired. most of the peers are uplinked with fiber, a few with ethernet, but again...all eigrp neighbors on that switch are flapping. Any idea what I should look for here?

These are the cases when you need to open a ticket with Cisco and deal directly with a technician.

It could be anything..
