Dear All,
We are having Cisco L3 4507 Switch. Suddenly the CPU utilization reached more than 90%..Then i gave " no ip icmp redirects"..
After that CPU Utilization was somewhat reduced in to 60%.. Now again it is coming into 90 %..I dont know what to do?
When i am seeing the log"
It will be
May 26 10:57:10.387 IST: %C4K_EBM-4-HOSTFLAPPING: Host 00:18:FE:2D:A0:F6 in vlan 45 is flapping between port Po3 and port Po4

what i have to do in this case to reduce the CPU Utilization.?//

Senthil,
Is your host are getting flapped frequently in you switch logs,if yes then CPU will increase as it will result in STP convergence at frequent interval.For immediate measur just shutdown one of the port at switch end for that particular host and then check the CPU stats.
Also paste the show cpu process output
Hope to Help !!

Dear Ganesh,
Actullay that switch in Production..So now i cant to shut any port channel.Right now i will post the CPU utilization..

Hi Senthil,
As per the output Cat4k Mgmt LoPri ,Cat4k Mgmt HiPri and STP is taking
high CPU utilization in your switch:-
In order to see which of the platform-specific processes use the CPU under
the context of Cat4k Mgmt HiPri and Cat4k Mgmt LoPri , issue the show
platform health command.
Each of the platform-specific processes has a target/expected utilization
of the CPU. When that process is within the target, the CPU executes the
process in the high-priority context. The show processes cpu command
output counts that utilization under Cat4k Mgmt HiPri . If a process
exceeds the target/expected utilization, that process runs under the
low-priority context. The show processes cpu command output counts that
additional utilization under Cat4k Mgmt LoPri . This Cat4k Mgmt LoPri is
also used to run background and other low-priority processes, such as
consistency check and reading interface counters. This mechanism allows
the CPU to run high-priority processes when necessary, and the idle CPU
cycles that remain are used for the low-priority processes. To exceed the
target CPU utilization by a small amount, or a momentary spike in
utilization, is not an indication of a problem that needs investigation.
Check out the below link on troubleshootinh high CPU in 4500 switches
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps663/products_tech_note09186a00804cef15.shtml
Note :- Do not shut any port channel in production network,just check the
mac-address which is getting flapped between the portchannel.
Hope to Help !!
