Hi Experts,

sh proc cpu sor

CPU utilization for five seconds: 22%/0%; one minute: 22%; five minutes: 24%

Hi Arav,

I'm not suure that it is what you are looking for:

CSCsi78581 (Catalyst 3750 switches)

When you enter the show process cpu privileged EXEC command on a Catalyst 3750 model WS-C3750G-48PS, the LED process no longer causes high CPU usage.

But it seems it is an IOS bug which resolved in 12.2(44)SE release.

Hope it helps, rate if does,

Hi Krisztian,

Thank you for your reply.

Would you know if this will cause the CPU to max out when there is actual user traffic on the switch ? It is set to go live tomorrow !!

Cheers

Hi Arav,

Actually that is the only thing I found about this issue so I don't know how it will impact the switch performance in production, but if you try to upgrade the IOS you will see.

Hope this helps, rate if does,

Krisztian
