AAA Acounting using FreeRadius Server

[alain.desnoyers]

We have switched to a different Radius Server (FreeRadius) in order to be able to use AAA Acounting to bill the customer by the byte. The Cisco box being used is a 7206VXR/NPE300 and when we point the Cisco router to the new Radius Server, the CPU utilization jumps to 90-100%. The normal utilization during normal times is 70%. About 1000 users connect to this router for internet access. Is 70% a little high for everyday use, is there a misconfiguration, a bug in the IOS or simply overutilization of the 7206??

Thanks

The following link should help you determine the cause of your high CPU. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/63/hwts_7200_16122.html

As far as a possible bug in the IOS, you would have to go to Cisco's website and use the bug toolkit.
