Loss of Connectivity

cisco_trouble · ‎03-28-2006

Hi there people.

I'm managing a couple of 1700 routers. Im using HP Openview as a monitoring tool. I just cant figure out why i cant connect remotely. When it does come back up, it shows the router has been always up, but there are interface resets. no errors, crc or anything. However, at the time of loss of connectivity, it seems that the router is heavily over-utilizing? Could that be the problem? Any suggestions?

Assuming all configs and links are 100%

thanx in advance

That is certainly a possibility. When the router CPU starts running high, packets destined for the router itself (such as management traffic from HPOV), will queue up waiting for the CPU to free up. That is why you seem to be getting those drops.

Are you monitoring the router CPU at all ?

Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.
