Cat5505 performance

[judity]

I'm trying to determine whether a Cat5505 with an RSM is the bottleneck in a multiple device firewall configuration. Stress tests indicate that performance thru the firewall degrades after 15 simultaneous connections. What commands would be most helpful in the both the switch and rsm to determine any performance issues.

sh traffic ---To see bus utilization

sh proc cpu --To check for CPU utilization

sh mac /sh port --To check for any excessive broadcasts/errors

On the RSM, do a sh interface and see if you see any drops on VLAN interfaces. Also a sh proc cpu to check for CPU spikes
