High CPU Utilization on Catalyst 6509

[kr_madan]

Hi All,

When there is a high cpu utilization in Catalyst-6509,in which order it is going to drop the packets ?

In my case when there is a high cpu utilization it is dropping the OSPF packets and adjacencies are getting lost with the neighbors connected to GE module.

What is the Maximum cpu utilization where there is no effect on the system?

Regards,

Madan.

H Madan,

I have experieneced 100% CPU Utilization for a more than a week due to SNMPv3 configuration on 6509 with IOS.

Have you also SNMPv3 enabled?
