util-threshold cpu
Configure the high or low CPU utilization thresholds for SNMP traps.
C9000 Series
Syntax
util—threshold cpu {5sec | 1min | 5min} {all | cp |lp slot–id | pe | rp}
{high {0-100} | low {0-100}}
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 slot-id Enter the keyword lp and the linecard processor (lp) slot-id for which you want to
configure the CPU utilization time. The range for lp slot-id is from 0 to 11.
pe Enter the keywordpe to configure the CPU utilization time for port extenders (PE)
configured in the system. Range is from 0 to 255.
NOTE: The pe option is only available when the extended bridge feature is
enabled.
all Enter the keyword all to configure the CPU utilization time on all switch CPUs:
Control Processor, Route Processor, port extender (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.
NOTE: A threshold level of 0 disables Syslog and SNMP traps.
Defaults
● High CPU utilization threshold: 1 min = 85%, 5 min = 80%
● Low CPU utilization threshold: 1 min = 75%, 5 min = 70%

Usage
Information
When the total CPU utilization exceeds the configured threshold for the specified time, a threshold
notification is sent as an SNMP trap. If a low threshold value is not specified, the low threshold value is
set to the same value as the high threshold value. The system generates a Syslog and SNMP trap each
time the configured CPU threshold is crossed.
