cnMatrix 2028P CPU Usage

Does anybody know if its normal for CPU usage to be at 100% all of the time on these switches? The fans weren’t running when I was setting up but CPU usage in maestro has been at 100% for 5 days straight and normal CPU usage on our other switches with the same equipment is around 20-35%. I suspect this is just an issue with maestro showing high usage but didn’t know if i was missing something

To make sure there is no display error by cnmaestro run the command directly on the switch:
“show env all” and see the results. (You can execute that command also from cnmaestro; Select switch from left menu; Tools-> Remote CLI).
Does switches have an identical version of the operating system and which version?

Cambium1

This is our only Cambium switch, we’re testing it to see if we want to switch over to them. Most of our others are Aruba 2530s

Dont know what is your config and what are you running (OSPF, BGP, only L2 services) but my next step will be to upgrade to the latest version, 4.1.3, and see the results…

Both switches have 800Mhz CPU, Aruba has ARM (didn’t find info for cnamtrix) so obviously that CPU utilization is not normal…

Strictly L2 services, running 4 AP’s, 14 POE cameras and 6 door controllers and total poe draw is only around 120W. I’m going to try the upgrade and see what happens once the plant shuts down for the day. I’m confident it’s just an issue with what maestro is showing but wanted to see if anybody else had similar issues

Hi Jacob,

It doesn’t look like a cnMaestro display issue as the device is showing the same value for Current CPU Usage on CLI. Can you invite saimahesh[dot]vudhya from Administration → Users → Invite Cambium Support section ? We will try to debug and identify if there is any issue from the cnMatrix device side.

Hi,

Can you share the output of ‘show running-config’ on the switch?

Do you have any monitor tool eg. PRTG, Auvik etc. that does continuous snmp mib walk or continuous ssh disconnection/connection or port scan?

There is also a known issue that can consume 100% cpu. Do you have currently have 1G transceiver inserted in any 10G fiber port and the port is administratively disabled?

Thanks
