Hi,

The common observation is that the CPU utilization output for the

show processes cpu

command on the 2900XL/3500XL       switch shows a fairly high value when the switch is idle and has no active       ports. When viewing the output of the

show processes       cpu

command, the highest percentage processes are

Port Status Proc

(Port Status       Process) and

LED Control Proc

(LED Control Process). It is normal behavior for these processes to be a high       percentage of the total CPU utilization. These processes run constantly to       maintain and monitor the status of the ports and the different LEDs available       on the panel of the switch.

HTH
