3850 High CPU usage - IOSD ipc task

Level 1

Hello,

 

After the IOS upgrade to the version 16.3.6 we are facing the high CPU usage. I read a lot of threads, but most of them are regarding the fed or stack-mgr.. However, this is not my case. Here are some outputs:

switch#sh proc cpu sort | e 0.0
CPU utilization for five seconds: 79%/27%; one minute: 78%; five minutes: 78%

For me, it seems the issue is related to the dot1.x config as we have a switch with no used port and this one has no issue.. The access port config looks like:

 

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2
switchport access vlan 2910
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 2950
authentication event fail action next-method
authentication event server dead action reinitialize vlan 2910
authentication event server dead action authorize voice
authentication event server alive action reinitialize
authentication host-mode multi-auth
authentication open
authentication order dot1x mab
authentication priority dot1x mab
authentication port-control auto
authentication violation restrict
mab
no snmp trap link-status
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x timeout tx-period 5
storm-control broadcast level 1.00
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable

 

Can you please help with this one? Thanks.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply!

 

I already tried to remove the command

authentication event server dead action authorize voice

from all interfaces where the voice vlan is not configured, did not help.

 

Also, I saw troubleshooting tips, but unfortunatelly the command

show processes cpu detailed process iosd sort | ex 0.0

is not supported in this IOS version as there is no option to use keyword detailed..

 

switch#show processes cpu ?
autoprofile     Show IOS(d) 'automatic CPUHOG profiling' information
extended       Show extended cpu usage report of last 5 seconds for IOS(d) process
history           Show CPU usage history of IOS(d) process in graph format
monitor         show CPU utilization of IOS(d) processes continuously
platform        Show CPU usage per IOS-XE process
sorted           Show sorted output based on percentage of usage for IOS(d) processes
|                   Output modifiers
<cr>

 

Any other help would be appreciated.
