Hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to prioritize some process over others when CPU usage is close to 100%.
For instance, prioritize BGP or PPP processes so that WAN connectivity is not lost during peak CPU usage.
Thank you.
Thomas.

- That is not supported on CIsco switches. You will need to tackle the problem , if possible or buy more performant hardware (if that is the cause).

Thank you for your reply. Any idea if it's supported on Cisco routers?

Hello Joseph,
Thank you for your reply.
I tried to overload a C1111-8P in my lab by sending a lot of small packets and unfortunately I lost BGP peering with my neighbor.
So it seems that, by default, there is no mechanism to prioritize BGP process. Or, maybe, I push the test too far by sending too much packets...
I will try to play with the command scheduler and see if notice some improvements:
#scheduler ? heapcheck Extra checking to validate memory interval Maximum interval before running lowest priority process max-sched-time Maximum time scheduler can run without flagging an error max-task-time Maximum time that a task can run without flagging an error process-watchdog Action for looping processes run-degraded Continue running as long as possible. runtime Process runtime controls timercheck Extra checking to validate timer

Hello,
It was on another interface.
BGP peering was using gi0/0/0 interface and traffic was between gi0/1/0 and gi0/1/1 interfaces.
