[c-nsp] 12.3.22 lawful intercept on 7206 - DHCP bug eats 2, 000+ customers

[Paul Stewart]

So, you're turning up a new connection with 2100 customers on it (or ARP
entries at least) and DHCP is slowing right down?  

If I understand this right, this is normal behaviour.... on one of our cable
routers (CTMS router) when we do maintenance and bring 500+ customers back
online, it takes a good 20 minutes for all those customers to get an IP
address again.  Once we're beyond that initial startup it works great
though....

Does that seem similiar to your situation or does DHCP just choke all
together?

  I have a 7206 with NPE-G1, upgraded from 12.2.15T11 last night to
12.3.22 lawful intercept and simultaneously taking from 256m to 1024m of
memory.

  The system has BGP peers and a couple of thousand DSL customers attached
(I know, I know, OS and memory upgrade are part of me splitting it for this
customer).

  We watched 2,100 ARP entries appear for the ATM PVCs this morning and all
seemed well but the onboard DHCP was sick. We do a 'show run' and it'll fail
with a "try later" or it'll run but it takes several minutes to generate
anything.

  We're on the phone with TAC now and we've got someone clueful but this is
incredibly painful for the customer - anyone seen this thing before? 
Suggestions?
