Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco Wisms CPU

Hi All,
   A quick question for those out there with WISMs... What level of  
CPU usage are you experiencing (with how many users)?

A bit of background...
We have two wism blades (4 wisms) and since we purchased them in  
about april'07 they were running at about 35%, rising to 50% at peak  
times, with frequent spikes up to about 90%. The spikes were  
worrying, but the average seemed ok, and as they did this from day  
one I was under the impression this was the norm.

Recently, we upgraded to the 4.2.x.y stream from 4.1. As has been  
covered in other recent posts, 4.2 has some outstanding issues (more  
than others anyway) and things became unstable... so we decided to go  
back to 4.1.85.0 (TAC hasn't provided us with any solutions for 4.2  
issues). We had a backup of our previous 4.1 config, but I chose not  
to use it and start again from scratch (a few things had changed, so  
either way involved work)

Since the reversion to 4.1.85.0, our cpu usage now averages 2% and  
peaks at 6% at peak times (220 waps, ~350 users).
[4.1.85.0, 12.2(18)SXF7]

Thanks,
   James
