9200L CPU @ 15% Caused 6.25% Packet Loss

WGL_BK
Level 1
Level 1

Hi.

We used Solarwinds NPM to monitor our 9200L switches. They're configured with an SVI and an IP address is placed on it. That IP address is what NPM uses to contact them. According to NPM, a switch's CPU spiked today to around 15% and we saw that we had about 6% packet loss (reachability between NPM and switch) at the same time. My question is this, would a spike to such a low value be likely to cause that packet loss?

Sure also advise to setup a syslog server so you have information.

Thank you for that resource. I'll try to see how best I can put it to use here.

Sure, I cut the show version down to version info to spare you the standard info - let me know if you need it all, please. Thanks for the reply.

as per the information i do not see any issue with the output.

 

what you see any  Logs which shows that time  as unusal ? what IP address you try to ping to SVI IP ?

I imagine what I'll have to do is wait for the issue to repeat and capture traffic then. It's not a consistent enough problem to catch the info at the right time.

Sure also advise to setup a syslog server so you have information.

I did not think to check my syslog server - must've been a long day. 
I got this from it:

 IOS shim client 'ngwc fed bipc' has taken 6972 msec (runtime: 0 msec) to process a 'unknown' message

 

Edit: seems to refer to this bug
Bug Search (cisco.com)

I'm also seeing this: processing GetNext of cisco.5.1.3.1.1.11 
I haven't been able to find what this OID is referring to. Would you know?

16.9.5 

Oh i have ignored this, these version and .6 also bit or more of bugs we seen, why not uplift the IOS XE 16.12.X to fix most issues

Noted. If I were to upgrade, I'd use Cisco's recommended 17.3.3 (MD) for that platform. The bug page didn't say that an upgrade would fix the issue though.

17.3.3 not tested myself, it's in the roadmap to test in the lab, before we move to production, But we see 16.12.X is stable.

Ah is this Gibraltar-16.12.5b you've found stable?

yes, many Cat 9300 works as expected as of now. but we are testing the 17.3.X part of DNAC rollout soon.
