PIX515 CPU Utilization..

[thebrom]

Just hooked this up today and with Vibhor's help I have the DMZ working with nothing but a test server in it replying to ping. But I noticed that the firewall slowed down after about an hour when I was viewing the configs and whatnot and I did a sh cpu usage and got this back:

LINTHpix515# sh cpu usage

CPU utilization for 5 seconds = 96%; 1 minute: 96%; 5 minutes: 97%

Very high, what do I need to look for?

please verify the amount of traffic and the connections :-

1)sh conn count

2)sh xlate count

3)sh traffic

4)sh proc mem

Which code are you running ?

Is there any URL server configured ?

for preliminary troubleshooting..the above outputs should be enough
