[j-nsp] RPD Crash on M320

Mon Jan 4 10:15:19 EST 2016

Reading the core dump is beyond my expertise I’m afraid.

Hi
Yes I checked the CPU graph and there was a spike on CPU load. 
The link was flappy 20 minutes before crash. Also it remained flappy two hours after this crash. During this time we can see LDP sessions go UP DOWN over and over. But the only time there was a crash was this time and there is no spike on CPU.
I must mention we had another issue with another M320. Whenever a link flapped, CPU of RPD went high and all OSPF sessions reset. I found out the root cause for that. It was traceoption for LDP. For this box we dont use traceoption.
Is there any way to read the dump?

Thank you

Hi Alireza,

It seemed to me this event could be related to the core dump: Jan  3
00:31:28  apa-rtr-028 /kernel: jsr_prl_recv_ack_msg(): received PRL ACK
message on non-active socket w/handle 0x10046fa0000004e
However upon further investigation
(http://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content <http://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB18195> &id=KB18195) I see these
messages are normal/harmless.

Do you have Cacti graphs of CPU utilisation for both REs, before the rpd
crash? Link flapping may be giving rise to CPU hogging, leading to
instability and subsequent rpd crash.
Was the link particularly flappy just before the crash?

Kind regards,
Niall
