skolaric1 · ‎12-13-2012

Hello @ll,

I´m stuck in a problem of high CPU utilization on company core SW (Catalyst WS-C4510R - SupV 10GE).

I did found a Cisco documentation but dont know all the tweeks to go in the right direction, so please advise.

As the next "sho platform health" command is showing the "K2L2 Address Table R" is doing the CPU hard time.

But where I can find more on this processes? What is the meaning?

Cat4510R#

I did also some sniffing and enabled debugging with in-build CPU cniffer tool and stored the result in CPUHOG-Buffers.txt file (attached) but have no idea to look for a hint to solve the problem.

My suspection is that due to a flat colapsed core architecture (Core:C4510R; acces L2 switches) some of the server applications is responsible of the CPUHOG issue.

Regards,

Silvi.

The issue is solved, commands I have used to clarify the cause:

1) mac address-table notification mac-move

2) sho logg
