Span session for CPU traffic

[andybetts]

I have a 4507 that's cpu usage is increasing by about 3% on a daily basis.

I want to set up a span session for the CPU traffic, but I'm concerned that this might add to the problem.

The CPU is currently running at 60%. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Andy,

I would use sh proc cpu sorted 1min to find out what processes are using more cpu resources.

the following link C4500 specific can be useful

I don't suggest to span cpu traffic.

Hope to help
