NOTE
CPU usage of 70% does not necessarily affect services. Services may not be affected when some tasks
consume 70% of CPU resources, but may be affected when some tasks consume 30% of CPU resources.
This outcome depends on the actual situation.
Step 2
Check whether a large number of packets are sent to the CPU.
Run the
display cpu-defend statistics
command to check statistics about the packets sent to the
CPU and focus on the
Drop
field.

l
If the value of the
Drop
field of a certain type of packets is great and CPU usage is high,
packet attacks occur. Go to step 6.
l
If the value of the
Drop
field is within the specified range, go to step 3.
Step 3
Check whether a large number of TC packets are received.
If STP is enabled on a device, the device deletes MAC address entries and ARP entries when
receiving TC-BPDUs. If an attacker sends pseudo TC-BPDUs to attack the device, the device
will receive a large number of TC-BPDUs within a short period and frequently deletes MAC
address entries and ARP entries. As a result, the device CPU usage becomes high.
