Core Router crashing!

tdotvix1982

Level 1

Hi folks,

For one of our bigger clients recently for the past couple of days our router started crashing. The router model is ISR 3825 and the following is what I have loaded in the inventory:

NAME: "3825 chassis", DESCR: "3825 chassis"

PID: CISCO3825         , VID: V03 , SN: xxxxxxxxxx

NAME: "WAN Interface Card - Serial 2T on Slot 0 SubSlot 0", DESCR: "WAN Interface Card - Serial 2T"

PID: WIC-2T            , VID: V01, SN: xxxxxxxxxx

NAME: "WAN Interface Card - Serial 2T on Slot 0 SubSlot 1", DESCR: "WAN Interface Card - Serial 2T"

PID: WIC-2T            , VID: V01, SN: xxxxxxxxxx

NAME: "WAN Interface Card - Serial (1T) on Slot 0 SubSlot 2", DESCR: "WAN Interface Card - Serial (1T)"

PID: WIC-1T=           , VID: 1.1, SN: xxxxxxxxxx

NAME: "4 Port FE Switch on Slot 0 SubSlot 3", DESCR: "4 Port FE Switch"

PID: HWIC-4ESW         , VID: V01 , SN: xxxxxxxxxx

NAME: "Virtual Private Network (VPN) Module on Slot 0", DESCR: "Encryption AIM Element"

PID: AIM-VPN/EPII-PLUS , VID: V01 , SN: xxxxxxxxxx

NAME: "NME-16ES-1G-P: EtherSwitch SM 16 10/100T PoE + 1 GE on Slot 1", DESCR: "NME-16ES-1G-P: EtherSwitch SM 16 10/100T PoE + 1 GE"

PID: NME-16ES-1G-P     , VID: V01 , SN: xxxxxxxxxx

We have the following technologies running on our clients network (over 50 Medium sized branches) over the WAN connected to the branches:

DMVPN (with IPSEC Encryption)

Multi-Area OSPF

At peak times router utilization touches 70 percent or so. Our CPU utilization for the past 60 minutes is:

Hi

It seems like because of high cpu utilizaton.
Check what causing the high cpu utilization, do you have NAT running on this. If yes i would suggest you to check the NAT translations "sh ip nat tra" and identify which source is doing more (some of them may do on port 21 which will cause high cpu utilization)

Also provide the complete "sh log" and "sh proc cpu sor 5min" output


Please rate the helpfull posts.
Regards,
Naidu.

Hi,

If you performing NAT translation, we can limit the translation per host basis. using command "ip nat trans max".

log the memory output and check it with cisco output itnerpreter.

Please rate my reply.

Thanks,

Aman

Hi Naidu,

Following is the Process output for 5 minutes followed by the sh logging output. I also checked the ' sh ip nat translations' and there are no ports being translated on 21:

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,

If you performing NAT translation, we can limit the translation per host basis. using command "ip nat trans max".

log the memory output and check it with cisco output itnerpreter.

Please rate my reply.

Thanks,

Aman

Hi

The cpu utilization is crossing 90% at times right? whcih caused crashing the device.
The following process are taking more ARP Input, Check heaps, Crypto IKMP...

Do you have seperate AIM ecnryption module on this router? If you dont have I would suggest you to have it on the router so that the crypto process will not burden to the actualy CPU. And you have DMVPN also which do log ot encryptions.

Apart from that I would suggest you to do harden your router....
1. Stop ip unreachables, proxy-arp and directed-broadcast to control the present scenario.
 

Please rate the helpfull posts.

Naidu.

@Aman, I will definitely take up with our Network Security specialist and see what he has to say. That could very likely be the cause of this. Thanks for the tip mate.

@Naidu, yes we do have an AIM encryption for the necessary offloading of encryption processes. Indeed the router needs to be hardened. Optimization of the device should help however I feel more effective load balancing of traffic needs to be done. Lets hope we can coerce the client to do so.

hmm...looks like the router is being hammered..is the CPU high throughout the day or only at certain times? how many tunnels connect to this router?

Hi Gerald,

At the moment there are 84 encrypted DMVPN tunnels   running on the router. This router is placed at the core of a bank where over 50 branches are terminating. This past week was also the end of the financial calendar hence you could imagine the load on the router. Hopefully, we will have a few days of respite before the problems comes back. We will continue monitoring the load on the router at different times of the day. Thanks for the tip mate.

Regards,

Waqas.

i'd have TAC take a look at this.. I ran into something similar in the past, same router platform, it turned out the router could not take the load. The router crashes (CPU flatlines to 100%) or EIGRP neighbor relationships drop at the time they do the nightly batch load. I short the router is to busy due to the amount of traffic. Iwould try and co-relate the traffic patterns and  the high CPU. I also think 84 encrypted tunnels is a lot for a 3825 to handle considering there are other services running on the router...hth...

12.4(15)T9 - You might try newer code; now that 15.x is out, why run prior T train?

Would look to resolve:

Would also investigate the cause processes using much CPU

CPU utilization for five seconds: 89%/51%; one minute: 78%; five minutes: 70%

PID Runtime(ms)   Invoked      uSecs   5Sec   1Min   5Min TTY Process

272      142088    116400       1220 21.87% 14.01%  8.62% 578 Virtual Exec    

etc.

@Joseph regarding '

Yes, that is definitely a slight issue we need to resolve. The mismatch is with a remote device with which we tunnel. Convincing the client to go for a new license...hmm need to sharpen up my sales skills...Virtual Exec sounds kinda mysterious hence would need to read up more about that. Cheers for the help mate.

Hi guys,

Sorry for not keeping the forum updated about this. The past few weeks have been a bit manic at work. We verified the router config as much as we could, installed extra memory on the router. Even went so far as replacing 3 routers and modifying the design to distribute as much load as we could between the clients' corporate network and their internet connection. Finally, we noticed that NAT entries originating from our LAN by our server were well over the 300,000 mark; we tested by removing the NAT entry/disconnecting the server from our network and instantly things getting smooth. Apparently, for some reason the server which runs some sort of a banking application which notifies customers of transactions via SMS messages (among other services) was trying to make SSH connections to every IP on the global internet routing table. I take it the server has some sort of a malicious piece of software on it or has a bug that is being exploited by an exploit. If anyone else has come across such an issue where your server has been behaving this way then please do post it here. We asked the server/software development team to rebuild the server and install an effective anti-virus software on it to ensure it is secure; the server team followed suit but we are having the same result so far. This probably is a bug in the software code itself. Thanks for all the help with this issue guys. It really helped myself and my team get off to a good start whilst investigating this issue.

Thanks,
Vick

Hi Vick,

I have experienced the same issue with one of my windows 2003 server.
as per my knowledge experience I would suggest you to control the global NAT tranlsations on your router...this is one way.

The second way is that you can configure one to one nat by allowing required ports and required subnets from outside say (port 22, 443 from subnets 206.206.206.0 126.122.144.0 etc.,) and this way it will not open to all whcih is secure.


To control nat translation you can do by configuring below command in global config mode.

ip nat translation tcp-timeout 600
ip nat translation udp-timeout 600


Please let me know if you want go with the second way so that i can help you in configuration

Please rate the helpfull posts.
