Default Re: Regarding high cpu utilization

Do a ps -auxww

and it lists not just the process but also memory util and cpu util as well. Do a | more outherwise will scroll off the bottom of the page.

High CPU is typically traffic related where doing SMARTDefense checking, or a burst of traffic.

Use SMARTView Monitor to see the top talker at the time and identify which machine causing the burst.

Is it at a regular time or random bursts.

Swap Memory is the same as Swap Memory on any other platform, it is swapping memory contents out to disk space and having to read back in later, is used when running out of physical RAM in the box.

The IP260 is the entry level Nokia, and quite weak in the CPU area. What sort of network size/traffic are you protecting with it.
