[nsp] 7400 IOS

[Temkin, David]

We ran into
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/onebug.pl?bugid=CSCea81025&cco_
product=IOS&fset=&swver=12.3&keyw=PXF&target=2&train=T today on two test
7401's.  With two boxes back-to-back with 100mb between them and 100mb to
two workstations, running ttcp with PXF yielded 91Mbits, what we'd expect to
see.  With PXF on, we saw 40Mbits.

This bug appears to be in *all* versions of IOS for the 7401

For those without CCO:
Release Notes
 
Symptoms: Packet loss may occur on a Cisco 7401.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco 7401 that is running Cisco 
12.2 B and that has Parallel Express Forwarding (PXF) enabled.

Workaround: Disable PXF.

Hi Chris

We now have about half a dozen 7400 routers and use BGP/DOT1Q/NETFLOW mainly
and they've been working fine with 12.2(14)S3.....

Having said that, I have had a some really odd things happening recently on
one or two of them.

Two of my routers hung for no apparent reason at different times this week.

Console access worked and I could 'show proc cpu' to show 0% cpu usage, if i
did a 'show int' i see all my interfaces are up, but no packets flow.

Our DSL L2TP terminator is running 12.2(16)B1 at the minute and has been up
for just over 5 weeks.

Last word of warning, I tried 12.3 and it they just locked up big style
after about 2 hours, no console access or anything.

I have no TAC access at the minute so unfortunately cannot raise the hanging
issue.

Regards

Darren Smith

PS. Netflow v5 seems to be working properly at last in the later builds as
well :-)
