High cpu utilization with RIP Router

[lvrak2102]

Dear All,

I have one 7507 router and 6509 Switch which are running on OSPF and RIP. These days i'm observing high cpu utilzation on these devices. when i check the "show proc cpu sorted" RIP Router is showing 3-4%. My doubt is whether RIP updates will have that much impact on the cpu utilization.

Hi

Usually high input problem can be nullified by enabling CEF on the routers.

Is it possible for you to configure IP CEF in global mode and check for any change or difference in the CPU utilisation ??
