We have a WiSM blade in each of our 6509s with a SUP720 module. We are not seeing a memory leak, but a CPU spike in utilization that we cannot explain. It is causing slow telnets to the 6509, but no noticeable network slowdowns or reboots.

We do a:

#show processes cpu history


and utilization is always around 60 to 80%. When we look in the process table, no process shows that it is going crazy. We tried powering down the WiSMs, turning off Appletalk, and isolating this to a particular module/port, but nothing has worked. We are running IOS 12.2(18)SXF10 on the 6509.

Ditto here.  I would stay clear of modular IOS and run something
like the latest SXF monolithic-blob image.

Or phrased another way,
"I encourage my competitors to run the latest modular IOS."

Joe, I would recommend running non-modular 12.2(18)SXF9 or perhaps SXF11. SXH is brand new, as is the modular code, and there are bound to be problems. WiSMs have been well tested with SXF code, so unless you have a reason to run
12.2(33)SXH, try downgrading and your problem will likely go away.

We have two Catalyst 6500's running native IOS. Both have 3 WiSM blades
installed in each. We are currently running modular IOS ver 12.2(33)SXH.



Both Sup720's seem to be leaking memory at a constant rate, about 7
megabytes a day. The Sup's eventually hit a point where telnet to it
becomes sluggish and the memory spikes frequently, then they reboot
themselves.



I am working with TAC, they seem the think that it is the udp.proc
process. I hate to point my finger at the WiSM blades, but I can't think
of anything else that has changed within the last 6 months.



Has anyone else noticed similar issues?
