WS-C2960X-48FPS-L Ping performance response

gimp
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I've just installed 5 new switches  WS-C2960X-48FPS-L in my network. All switches are connected via Port-Channel with two GigaEthernet port into the same central switch c6509.

In particular, when I ping one of this switches, it has a high response time, like this:

All switches have the same CPU utilization (50%) and IOS: c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-2.E5.bin

It very well could be normal.  Ping response is a low priority task to a Cisco network device.  If fact, some Cisco devices support SLA responders to try to provide a much more accurate network delay ping response (one the accounts for internal response delay).
