White Papers

• rp — Enter the keyword rp to congure the CPU utilization time for the Route Processor CPU
• lp — Enter the keyword lp to congure the line processor CPU utilization time. The range of switch slot IDs is from 0 to 2.
• pe — Congure the CPU utilization time of all PEs that are congured in the system.
• all — Enter the keyword all to congure 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 congure 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.
• Congure the high or low CPU utilization threshold for SNMP traps.

Conguring Threshold Memory Utilization for SNMP
Traps
When the total memory utilization for a CPU exceeds the congured high/low threshold for a given time, a threshold notication is sent as
an SNMP trap. If a low threshold value is not specied, the low threshold value is set to the same value as the high threshold value. Use the
util-threshold memory command to congure the high or low memory utilization threshold for SNMP traps.
