Brandon,
In my experience that meter doesn't really tell you much and it's on by
default. The most fully loaded 6509 core switch that I ever saw had 3 bars
max lite. The only time that I have seen it higher is when there was
something drasticly WRONG. I accdently pasted in a wrong config on one
switch on a very large network test bed (18 6500 and 5500's) and made a
nice spanning tree loop. It was rather cool. The meters on all the
switches started climbing for the roof !!! Couldn't even get a decent
consol session to work to correct the mistake. Pulling links didn't help.
Ended downing the offending switch, changing the config, and letting
spanning tree reconverge. Thank God the network wasn't in production yet or
I would of had a real red face !!!
The moral of the story: Use the "show process" if you really want a good
picture of switch load.
