Help 2811 router doesn't have enough power to handle Internet NAT???

Level 1

Dear forum,

I has just setup a 2811 router to do only Internet NAT feature, but it seem to be exhausted. Few days ago the it's CPU always above 50%, and this morning it's completely 99 100%. I feel upset when console to it, so lag.

Here is some command output:

I highlighted some info which I thinks they are clue for my problem. It seem that there are too much traffic download from Internet, and the router cannot handle.

The logging was for 2 days ago, today it has no logs buffered. Three days ago I has upgrade to OS c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-22.T5 to improve %CPU but it does not work.

Feel free to not consider the fragmented counter. Because the counter indicate the time I customized the MTU and MSS. Now the MTU is default without configuring and the MSS is 1436 for interface Dialer 1.

This company has about over 600 users. I would like to know can Router 281 handle the NAT job with such number of users? If not, which router model is good to work in this case.

Any response would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

I agree Paolo to update IOS but I remember you that 97000 sessions for 600 users are 160 sessions per user. A browser can open 4 TCP connections simultaneously. I have bad experiences with 80K sessions in a NPE-G1 c7200 router. Please, after upgrade if the problem still exists consider tune nat timers. A higher number only can be explained by a TCP NAT timer of 24 hours. If it is not enough study you internal network because your users can be very aggressive generating TCP connections. As last alternative, consider change the PPPoE connection to your checkpoint.

Regards.

I decided to choose IOS c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-25g.bin. I will consider tune the timer after a test time.

I will replug the router into network at tomorrow lunch time, then report the result one day after that.

Anyway, thanks you to all quick response.

That is not a good choice at all. Use latest IOS.

Sorry, because of not updating the case for long time.

There were some other problems between me and the customer then they delayed the process of this case.

Today I start it again. I will use the OS: c2800nm-advsecurityk9-mz.151-4.M6.bin

Thanks
