I have a new CRS upgraded to 6.6 and firmware 3.10. With no load on the box just running the profiler it has 5 to 7% CPU usage from "management". The RB2011 this replaced with the same config was running 99.5 to 99% idle. Anyone know what explains the difference?

Try turning off the LCD from the LCD menu.

Did that already.

First try v6.7rc1. if this continues, make a supout.rif and send to support. We will check what exactly causes this.

Normis, sent a supout. I don't really want to run an RC because I actually use the device.

Hi guys,

Same behavior here

CRS212-1G-10S-1S+ IN

absolutely no configuration and cpu between 15 - 30%

any clues?

LCD disabled.

i think on CRS a 5-10% cpu usage with no traffic its normal, i think is the cpu used to manage switch features

use tools -- profile to identify the source of that your load

Thanks for your reply Chechito.

I actualy can see exaclty the same behavior(1'st Post):

"I have a new CRS upgraded to 6.6 and firmware 3.10. With no load on the box just running the profiler it has 5 to 7% CPU usage from "management". "

only difference is the version, mine is on the last bug fix version.

I am facing the same issue in RouterOS 6.38.1 on a CRS226-24G-2S+. No firewall setting, no contrack, no BGP nor any routing, just switching less than 1 (one) mbit/s. Something is very wrong.

Same here. CRS125. 8% cpu usage for Management. Nothing special set up, using ether 1 as master, and ether 2 - 24 as slaves of ether1.

None of my other RB'S do that.

What should level of CPU usage for management be?

on the CRS you should expect to see between a few % to 50% just for management. The CPUs on them are weak but even comparing to the RB450G management will take between 2-4% CPU when clocked higher. I wish MT would allow overclocking for various routerboards currently out even the CCR series as well as the CPU datasheet lists 1.5Ghz as an option. Some of us have modded CCRs with way better cooling with mine for instance running totally silent during loads.

I know the CPU on CRS is only meant for managing it only but it still is a full MIPS routerOS which you can run some of routerOS services and use the other features routerOS has. If it could be clocked up it would certainly be interesting and faster to run more scripts. I just dont get why the 2 CRS lines out have different amounts of ram. The switch chip on the CRS is part of the CPU so it would be nice to have more switching performance on the CRS226 with 2SFP+ for more managed switching performance. Its only wirespeed when used as a dumb switch but when you add rules and configs to the switch chip it doesnt become wirespeed anymore if you look at the performance charts.

I have similiar issues with my CRS125 running the latest stable firmware. I was noticing a bottleneck going out to my WAN.

Allowing DNS Remote Requests was using 80-85% of my cpu with total CPU utilization at 100%. Disabling this brought my overall CPU usage down to a respectable level.

Which most certainly means you have your firewall filter misconfigured.

hahahaa... was just coming back up update my post and saw your response... yes, i forgot a firewall rule.
