Hi
I have a cisco 3550 acting as a backbone router for our network with no end PCs attached just routers/layer 3 switches.
Using the sh int stats command it looks as though ALL traffic is been processed switched not CEF in hardware any ideas if this might be correct or am i miss reading the output.
The sh proc cpu show high CPU load of 20+% of which 19 ish % is hardware interrupts.
I can attached config if required. IOS version is : 12.1(22)EA5a
L3-SW1-FHH#sh int stats
Interface Vlan1 is disabled

it does seem you have some routeCache hits.
verify your 'flow' configuration by checking the VLAN interfaces for the 'no ip route-cache cef' command. remove this with the 'ip route-cache' command if you require it to be used.
one really good way to understand how CEF is operating in your environment is to use network accounting for CEF.
please see the following link for more info on network accounting for CEF: (as well as more CEF info:
