[c-nsp] 7600 weirdness

[Timothy Young]

Hello,

I have a pair of 7606s running single SUP 720 – 3BXLs with Version
12.2(18)SXF7 (IP Services)

What I saw last night is perplexing and mind you I’m not the greatest with
these devices.

Sep 15 18:39:04: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet4/41, changed
state to up

Sep 15 18:39:04: %LINK-SP-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet4/41, changed

So basically I have interfaces bouncing regularly – but there’s 45 minutes
of time where nothing showed in my logs at all.

That is very uncommon, but what makes this perplexing is that the 7600 still
sent traps to my Solarwinds box about multiple port up / downs during the
19:00:10 to 19:44:08 timeframe.  Nothing else on the box had issues, I had
no network problems (my voice network would’ve flaked to high hell if I had
any cpu / network  issues).

My CPU holds between 20-30% at any given time – with the occasional spike up
near 80ish (and when I say spike – I literally mean momentarily –it doesn’t
hold there at all).

The history for the CPU doesn’t show anything corresponding to that time
frame and even spikes.

Memory looks fine on the box with tons free.

What I’m looking for is where I can start looking on the box – or ideas that
may help me sort out why the box seems to have flipped and stopped reporting
for a bit.

I’m familiar with the logging – but anything more and it gets fuzzy for me.



Thanks


Tim
