Hi,
I have a CCR1036-8G-2S+ acting as PPPoE server, with at the moment 170 sessions.
I see constantly one CPU having a high load. Randomly this load moves to another CPU. And it gradually increases, and then sometimes drops a bit. This is now happening for a week. See the images:
The firmware is Version 6.43.4 (stable), the routerboard version is the same.
I only have one script, that emails me the configuration once a week. Can’t imagine that’s the problem. Especially since the load shifts to different CPU’s multiple times a day.
Hi,
Did you verify that the front LCD works correctly? Try however to disable it. Sometimes a failure on the serial interface that manages it generates a CPU overload.

We experienced this previously - a reboot appeared to clear it. I noticed it happens on our router when a user session is “stuck” - sometimes winbox disconnects but the router still thinks the user is logged in, and continues to think so until it is rebooted. I’m not sure if this is the cause or not, but it is correlated.
The device doesn’t do nat’ing or has any magle rules.
I rebooted the device this night, and the CPU load is gone.
I noticed that the memory usage was also gradually increasing since the CPU load appeared.
Fortunatly it’s fixed for now, but not to happy i didn’t find a specific cause to prevent it in the future.
Yes this is exactly what happened to us. In our case it seemed to start when a winbox session terminated abnormally that had a large table open (I think it was the ip routes table). The user session showed as permanently active on the router (under system->users->active users) even though it had disconnected. My guess is that the management CPU was high because it was trying to redraw the table every single time there was a change, even though the user was no longer connected.
