CRS326 high cpu

Hello everyone.
Im hoping I can get some help here.
We implemented this CRS326-24S-2Q+ switch today and added only 5 fibre based customers to it. The cpu seems pretty high especially considering its supposed to be doing hardware bridging and that the switch is only doing around 50mbps. The cpu is fluctuating between 30 - 60%. Under tools - profile it shows the high process as “management”. (but everything is forwarding and working as required)
Im concerned when we add more clients the CPU gets too busy.

We have a simple setup of a single bridge with vlan filtering and 1 management vlan on the bridge.

My guess is on having BFD enabled.

If using winbox, close all windows and open a terminal and see if the /tool/profile output is any different.

Check this link, here the VLAN configuration is done on the switch:

https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/CRS3xx%2C+CRS5xx%2C+CCR2116%2C+CCR2216+switch+chip+features#CRS3xx,CRS5xx,CCR2116,CCR2216switchchipfeatures-VLANFiltering

hi
bfd works with routing protocols ?
we not running routing protocols on this switch.

tools profile in terminal via ssh and no winbox open still shows high load under management.

any other ideas ?

this seems like how ive done it?
i did show the export.
is there something im missing ?

thank you. david.

You have bfd enabled - if you don’t need it, then disable it.

Thanks for picking that up. Seems like a default.
I disabled it - still high CPU. Made no difference. CPU still between 40 - 60% with around 80mbps of L2 traffic.
Any other ideas ?

Hi All

Ive sorted it out and thanks to the 1 poster. It seems there was another winbox session open. As soon as I closed that the CPU went down to 3%.
It seems that a winbox session with interfaces window open uses around 30% of CPU.

Thank you.

Some of the lower end mips cpus on switches will have this issue - the arm based devices don’t.

Just something to be aware of when you are looking at hardware options.
