Parameters
• cpu-utilization-time — Enter one of the following values to configure the threshold level for the time
in which a switch CPU can be used:
– 5 sec
– 1 min
– 5 min
• cp — Enter the keyword cp to configure the CPU utilization time for the Control Processor CPU.
• rp — Enter the keyword rp to configure the CPU utilization time for the Route Processor CPU
• lp — Enter the keyword lp to configure the line processor CPU utilization time. The range of switch
slot IDs is from 0 to 2.
• pe — Configure the CPU utilization time of all PEs that are configured in the system.
• all — Enter the keyword all to configure the CPU utilization time on all switch CPUs: Control
Processor, Route Processor, PE, and line cards.
• {{high | low} cpu-utilization-threshold-percentage} — Enter a percentage value to configure the high
or low threshold level for the time in which a switch CPU can be used. The percentage of CPU use
ranges from 0 to 100.
Defaults
– High CPU utilization threshold: 1 min = 85%, 5 min = 80%
– Low CPU utilization threshold: 1 min = 75%, 5 min = 70%
NOTE: A threshold level of 0 disables Syslog and SNMP traps.
• Configure the high or low CPU utilization threshold for SNMP traps.
CONFIGURATION mode
