High CPU Utilization in WS-C6509-E with SUP 720 running IOS s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-M

Hi Team,

We are seeing high CPU utilization on one of our Core Switch (WS-C6509-E with SUP 720 running IOS s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-M).

See the output captured for CPU utilization and see ~50% of CPU is used for ARP Input.

Request experts to help here.
