Description: The CPU utilization percentage for packet processing on this intelligent card.

What is cardCpuUtil?

This reports the current percentage of the card's packet-processing CPU that's busy. Because this is specifically the packet-forwarding CPU rather than a management CPU, sustained high values here directly explain increased latency or packet drops on the circuits terminating on this card, distinct from a chassis-wide congestion issue. For example, cardCpuUtil pegged at 95 percent on one IOP card while sibling cards sit near 30 percent points to an unbalanced traffic distribution or a runaway process specific to that card.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.7.2.1.31
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::cardCpuUtil

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.7.2.1.31.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::cardCpuUtil.1
