Level 1

Hi All,

There is an delay in executing each command in the cisco nexus switch 3064 it takes 3-5 sec to respond.Kindly provide your inputs to fix this issue.

 

Model : Cisco Nexus 3064

Vesrion : 6.0(2)U6(10)

Hi PdhineshK and thanks for posting to the forums!

I'd love to help you troubleshoot this issue but I'll need a little more information to narrow it down. Are you using the console port to access the switch or a VTY line? If you're using the console port, please reseat the cable as the switch, the adapter, and at the computer, then re-initiate your serial connection. Honestly I get a lot of errors with asychnronous cable output that are solved with a simple re-seat.

If you're using a VTY line, do you have dedicated bandwidth for your SSH/Telnet session into the switch? Are you using another method to access the switch?

Lastly, can you run the command "Show process cpu history" and share the output here? If you can't share the output, are you facing any extremely high CPU utilization (great than 70%) that could be slowing down the response time of you switch?

Please let me know and I'm sure I can help you troubleshoot the issue.

Thanks! Have a great day.

Thanks for your inputs.

 

I am using ssh to login the switch but not sure how to check the dedicated bandwidth allocated for SSH.As per your suggestions i have checked the CPU hostro below are the output.

PdhineshK,

Your CPU utilization does look a little high, but if I understand correctly that there is a constant delay entering any command into the Nexus CLI, then it is probably not your CPU utilization. There are 2 likely causes, and we'll go over the most likely first.

1) Congestion on the network. I'm not sure how many hops to get to your Nexus switch, or if the Nexus is bogged down itself. Any dedicated SSH traffic (which you probably do want to allocate some bandwidth to) would be shown in the running config as a class map. With the show run command you should see some output that looks like this:

Policy-map LLQ

   Class-map MANAGEMENT

      Priority 2000 (kbps)

You can also run show policy-map interface gigabitethernet x/x and look for anything related to management or low latency cueing. If you don't have any classmaps I would recommend adding at least one service class to reduce cueing time and see if that solves your problem (these commands are approximate as i don't have a Nexus in front of me to test them exactly):

Nexus(config)#: class-map MANAGEMENT

Nexus(config-cmap)#: match type ssh

Nexus(config)#: policy-map LLQ

Nexus(config-pmap)#: class MANAGEMENT

Nexus(config-pmap-c)#: priority percent 5 (this command will allocate a minimum of 5% of your bandwidth to SSH traffic regardless of other network traffic. It's extremely unlikely you'd ever hit 5% with simple ssh traffic, honestly 1% is pretty slim, so you can choose your own value here or use a kbps measurement)

Nexus(config)#: interface gigabitethernet 0/0 (obviously select your trunk link here)

Nexus(config-if)#:Service-policy output LLQ

Those commands will at least make sure that your SSH traffic doesn't have any obstacles between itself and the way back to your terminal. You may wish to also apply a LLQ service policy in the direction of the trunk link to ensure that all your management traffic gets priority movement across the network.

The other thing I would check right off would be the CoPP status of your device. If you aren't familiar with Control Plane Policing (CoPP) it's essentially just a security policy to keep your CPU from getting overwhelmed or taken down by a DOS attack (by limiting the number of packets that can travel to the CPU). It's unlikely it's interfering, but I would check the policy anyway since your only real latency complaint is with control plane commands (configuration via ssh). Use the following commands to the CoPP and let me know what the output is:

Nexus#: show copp status

Nexus#: show policy-map interface control-plane

I hope some of this information helps you hunt down the problem, and I'll be happy to keep troubleshooting with you once we have some more output. Thanks for posting, good luck!

Thank you very much for the inputs. 

 

We are facing this delay after we upgrade the switch IOS from 5.x  to 6.x.Not sure this upgrade causing the delay. 

 

I checked in the Cisco forum they mentioned when upgrade 5.x to 6.x by default copp policy not be applied.

 

Does the copp policy causing this delay??

If copp need to be applied let me know the steps to apply the copp policy. 

Hi,

Does the copp policy causing this delay??

No, COPP does not cause this.  I have also seen this in Nexus when SNMP is enable. If you have it enabled, For testing, can you disable it and test again?

 

HTH 

Hi ,

 

i don't see the below configuration in the switch 

Policy-map LLQ

   Class-map MANAGEMENT

      Priority 2000 (kbps

 Please find the below Copp policy output.

SGPROD123A# show copp status
Last Config Operation: None
Last Config Operation Timestamp: None
Last Config Operation Status: None
Policy-map attached to the control-plane: copp-system-policy
