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%

Command History
Version Description
9.10(0.0) Introduced the Configuration Terminal Batch mode on C9010.
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the C9010.
9.2(1.0) Introduced on the Z9500.
8.3.19.0 Introduced on the S4820T.
8.3.11.1 Introduced on the Z9000.
8.3.7.0 Introduced on the S4810.
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.
Use this command in Configuration Terminal Batch mode to configure the CPU utilization thresholds in a dual-
homing setup.
NOTE: The 5 sec util-threshold cpu command is disabled by default on all switches. To enable
the command, enter util-threshold cpu 5sec all high {value greater than zero}. To
disable the Syslog and traps for the 5 sec CPU utilization thresholds, enter
util-threshold
cpu 5sec all high 0 or no util-threshold cpu 5sec {all | cp | lp slot-id | pe
| rp }.
Example
Dell(conf)# util-threshold cpu 5sec cp high 50
In this example, the low threshold value is not specified so the system takes the value set for the high threshold
value. In all other cases, the low threshold value must be equal to or less than the high threshold value.
