We have a new stack of two Catalyst 3850-48T's running IOS XE 3.02.00 (we are upgrading to 3.02.01 this weekend.)
We noticed the CPU usage is around 30% even when there is almost no traffic going through the switch. We haven't seen any indication that it is causing a problem, but is this considered a normal baseline?
I attached my config (with passwords sanitized,) show ver, show controllers utilization, and show process cpu history.
I noticed this behavior is normal on 2900XL/3500XL switches, but I didn't find anything relating it to 3850 switches. Does the same thing apply to the 3850 switches?
