High CPU usage on Cisco 7604 RSP720-3C-GE IOS 12.33SRB1

antp
Level 1
Level 1

Well, we have in subj mentioned hardware with line module X6724SFP+DFC3C, it works as our border - aggregates full views from 4 uplink providers and propagades it to mpls-core.

There is 30 ebgp/ibgp peers & 6 ip-ip tunnels.

Overall traffic-load is about 1,5Gb/sec.

Therewith cpu-load is about 90%!!!

CEF _is_ enabled )))

Hi,

The error that you are getting "CFIB-SP-7-CFIB_EXCEPTION" suggests that the amount of available space in the TCAM is exceeded which is resulting in high CPU. This is a FIB TCAM limitation.

Once TCAM is full, a flag will be set and FIB TCAM exception is received. This stops from adding new routes to the TCAM. Therefore, everything will be software switched. The removal of routes does not help resume hardware switching.

Once the TCAM enters the exception state,

the system must be reloaded to get out of that state. So try reloading the router.

The maximum routes that can be installed in TCAM is increased by the mls cef maximum-routes command.

-> Sushil

And so?

Do we need to upgrade our RSP&DFC to 3CXL for support of existing routing scheme?

Or we can just buy 1-2 Gb CEF720 memory for pfc/dfc?
