High CPU on Cisco 4500 switch

vinayak2010
Level 1
Level 1

I am having couple of Cisco 4500 switches running in VSS mode with IOS-XE Version 03.04.01.SG RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)

I am facing high CPU on both Core CPU on the switch , i am not able to detemine the exact problem. Please help me to understand whats the exact issue causing High CPU. I also observed that my OSPF neighbours also go down when there is High CPU , might be Hellp packets are getting dropped.
