Hi,
 
We have a C2 stack member (#3 in a stack of 5) which has high CPU
utilisation.
It's not the manager of the stack.
The stack is 5 identical C2G-124-48P's and firmware revision although
not the most recent, is not that old: 05.02.03.0012
 
Spanguard is on and no ports are in the 'locked' state to indicate a
loop.
 
I know there was a specific circumstance on this list that someone
mentioned a while ago, where spanguard wouldn't detect a loop in some
circumstances, but can't remember what that was, or how you go about
troubleshooting it.
 
Could anyone give an overview of the troubleshooting steps they would
use to diagnose high CPU utilisation on a C-series stack member?
 
Also - what are typical CPU utilisation figures on your C2 stacks? Ours
seem high given that these only have basic configuration on - no policy
etc. Notably, we do use SNMP v3 auth+priv which is polled periodically
by Nagios. In addition, on that site, we do have a large broadcast
domain (>400 devices) which we have plans to VLAN down, but not sure
that would contribute significantly to such high utilisation.
