Let's see a 'show proc cpu | excl %0.00__%0.00__%0.00' when your CPU
is running hot. As well, let's see show int f0/0 and show int f1/0

That aside, a couple things:

- Either force the connection between the 3Com and F1/0 to 100/full
or connect the 3Com to a Gig interface and let it auto-sense speed
and duplex. I see you have the FastE forced to half duplex which
isn't going to help your throughput. You will notice collisions and
dropped packets in show int as a result. I'm not sure if that's
going to increase CPU utilization though.

- Can you separate your traffic into VLANs? A bunch of secondaries
on an interface are an old practice and should be avoided, IMO.

- ip route-cache same-interface used to be helpful for situations
like yours, but it's been years since I used it and it was with fast
switching at the time, not CEF switching, so I'm not sure if it's
needed seeing as how you are running CEF.

Subject: [cisco-bba] Cisco 7206VXR running out of steam at 20mb throughput



We have a Cisco 7206VXR router which is connected to interoute on one side
and a 3com 3300 with various VOIP Gateways (Cisco 53xx and 54xx) and HTTP
servers on the other, however its performance is not quite what we expected,
it seems to suffer from high CPU once throughout hits approx 20mb upwards,
til it gets to around 30mb when CPU is 90% and it becomes unuseable.

According to our Cisco dealer this unit should be good for 100mb plus
throughput no problems, so they are puzzled by the problem, they have sold
us some more ram we are now upto 1gb but it has made no difference.

I have tried introducing an access list firstly to rule out ICMP flood /
attack and then I blocked http as well to rule out code red.

I have also followed the Cisco guide to troubleshooting high CPU issue, and
enabled CEF and tried to make the config as simple as possible. I also used
IP accounting to identify that the traffic is as I expect (not DOS)

It seems the VOIP traffic maybe causing the problem, and a few people have
commented that the small packet size causes issues - this accounts for 90%
of the traffic going through this router.

Can anyone point me the right direction regarding what to try on this?

Version:- "disk2:c7200-is-mz.123-9.bin"

Hi Frank, Jason, thanks for your replies.
The half duplex was set for another test I have reset it to full-duplex.
Not sure about the implications of Vlan the subnets, and I tried ip
route-cache same-interface, it had no effect but I guess it may take time if
its a cache.

Here are the results of the show procs and i/f:-

Something seems to be amiss. How can your CPU utilization be at 62%
with no processes registering high CPU usage. You've got lots of
packets hitting your FE interfaces, so I would think there would be
an IP Input process or something to justify the usage.

In any event... Clear the counters on your FastEthernet interfaces.
Make sure everything is 100/full (on the router and the switch) and
let's see what sort of errors (if any) show up on the interfaces
after that.

You may also want to move FE0/0 to GE0/1 and move FE1/0 to GE0/2 or
some variation of that. The onboard GEs will be able to push far
more packets than your FE PAs can. If your issues are stemming from
your FEs processing more PPS than they can handle (or getting close
to hitting that ceiling), the move to the GEs will mitigate that and
give you a better baseline.

You have to remember what the value actually means:

62%/62%

Means 62% of the work is been packet switch

And the left minus the right is the amount that is been process switched.

Explaining the low process usage. You want this as much as possible.

Wayne,

which NPE do you use?

I see that you're switching many very small packets through the box (~
80 byte/pkt average), which could explain the high usage with a moderate
bandwidth.
In an IMIX environment, you'd be able to switch approximately 5-8 times
as much (as the avg. packet size is much higher)..

I guess you need a faster NPE..

Hi Oli,
The CPU is :-
7206VXR (NPE-G1) processor (revision A) with 983040K/65536K bytes of memory.

I'm quite surprised that it can't cope, - can you advise a piece of kit that
will do the job? Do you think swapping the card for a G2 would give us the
50-100mb we require bearing in mind the small packet size? Or are we better
off with a different product?

Many thanks,

Wayne

Wayne,

which NPE do you use?

I see that you're switching many very small packets through the box (~
80 byte/pkt average), which could explain the high usage with a moderate
bandwidth.
In an IMIX environment, you'd be able to switch approximately 5-8 times
as much (as the avg. packet size is much higher)..

I guess you need a faster NPE..

Oh, this is very strange, a NPE-G1 should cope with this load. Something
else is going on. "show align" shows anything? Any log messages?
Please unicast a show tech (will try to look at it soon)..
