Usually it doesn't recover by itself... Check the FIB TCAM Exception
section:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/59926/troubleshooting-high-cpu-6500
-sup720
I had the same kind of problem (3BXL, SXI) a few days ago but with IPv6:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
%CONST_V6-SP-5-FIB_EXCEP_ON: Failed to insert an IPv6 prefix in hardware FIB
TCAM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#sh mls cef exception status
Current IPv4 FIB exception state = FALSE
Current IPv6 FIB exception state = TRUE
Current MPLS FIB exception state = FALSE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#sh mls cef max
FIB TCAM maximum routes :
=======================
Current :-
-------
IPv4 - 1007k
MPLS - 1k (default)
IPv6 + IP Multicast - 8k (default)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
By the way, what values are you guys using with 1xfull BGP ipv4 + 1xfull BGP
ipv6 feeds ?
Thanks.

MPLS, traffic will be software switched
C6K, VS-S720-10G-3CXL, 15.1(SY), someone blew up the FIB. Last time I was
involved in such an "experiment", reload was the only recovery.
Logs claim the exception has been cleared.
Jun 3 22:59:26.790 UTC: %MLSCEF-SP-4-FIB_EXCEPTION_THRESHOLD: Hardware CEF
entry usage is at 95% capacity for MPLS protocol.
Jun 3 23:00:02.414 UTC: %C6K_MPLS_LC-SP-5-TCAM_EXCEPTION: TCAM exception
occured for MPLS, traffic will be software switched
Jun 3 23:15:02.712 UTC: %C6K_MPLS_LC-SP-5-TCAMEXPRECOVER: TCAM exception
recovered for MPLS, traffic will be hardware switched
Sup says the same:
RTR-1#show mls cef exception status
Current IPv4 FIB exception state = FALSE
Current IPv6 FIB exception state = FALSE
Current MPLS FIB exception state = FALSE
Not sure that I believe this.
(Config is Internet in a L3VPN vrf, default from transit, full routes from
peering.)
Thoughts?
