Procurve 5308 CPU utilization goes through the roof

Dear All,

We have a 5308XL acting as a core routing switch on our LAN. It is linked to a 5412ZL via an 8 Port LACP trunk. All has been well until a few weeks back when 2 or three times a week it's cpu utilization hit 80-90% and the network grinds to a standstill. The only way to recover is to reboot the switch. MSTP is enabled on both these swchitches as well as rstp across the 50 edge switches on Campus. I have logged a call with procurve support but other than asking for a LAN diagram and show tech all output nothing. Any suggestions would be welcomed please?

Re: Procurve 5308 CPU utilization goes through the roof

According to PCM+ we seem to be experiencing large numbers of STP instances across all switches despite it being enabled on all switches? Ports are blocked and then immediately reactivated?

Re: Procurve 5308 CPU utilization goes through the roof

it's more readable to put the config in an attachment instead of directly in the post.

but apart from that i see no reference to stp mstp rstp is this config ?

with MSTP each instance determines the stp topology for a number of vlan's. You may need to check mstp on both switches have the same vlan's configured.

as you use "Wless-APs", one of them may have "bridging" enabled wich may create a loop.

Re: Procurve 5308 CPU utilization goes through the roof

Point taken about attaching the config, I will double check the STP settings as it is enabled but the force-version command seems to have disappeared. I will also check out the Wireless APs to make sure none of these devices are causing loops, but we only have one wireless bridge on site so would be surprised if this was the issue especially as it has been in place for many years and the issue has only occurred in the last few weeks. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Unfortunately you can no longer do that and must add a .jpg suffix to the end.  :-(
