[j-nsp] EX4200 Junos 12.3R3.4 Processor Utilization

[David Miller]

Anyone running the JTAC recommended version of Junos (12.3R3.4) on any
EX4200s and collecting configs with RANCID?  If so, then I would be
curious to see what your proc utilization looks like.

What I see on my 12.3R3.4 switch is a large CPU spike whenever RANCID
collects data.

The command that seems to be the issue is:
show version detail | no-more

On my switch the following 3 log messages appear in /var/log/messages
every time 'show version detail' is run:

Jun 14 03:19:39   mgd[2139]: UI_OPEN_TIMEOUT: Timeout connecting to peer
'remote-operations'
Jun 14 03:19:39   mgd[2139]: UI_OPEN_TIMEOUT: Timeout connecting to peer
'dhcp'
Jun 14 03:19:40   mgd[2139]: UI_OPEN_TIMEOUT: Timeout connecting to peer
'autoinstallation'

Top shows:
CPU states: 39.2% user,  0.0% nice, 55.3% system,  0.1% interrupt,  5.5%
idle
during a run of this show command.

My SNMP monitoring over time shows spikes of:
jnxOperatingCPU.FPC0  max: 81.80
jnxOperatingCPU.RE0   max: 35.92

Anyone else seeing this as well?

I can reproduce this behavior exactly on a brand new switch, upgraded to
12.3R3.4, with vanilla default Juniper config on it (so I don't think
that it is my config).

Am I missing some simple config option?
