There are a few posts in the forum with people asking about the PC Config process/task in the sh proc cpu output, but no one has ever answered what that process is.
I've seen it jump up to 90% for short periods of time.
Would someone explain what this PC Config process/task is?
Thanks.
Roger,
The PCconfig thread contains quite a few tasks. Below I've pasted a list of some of the tasks that run in that thread.
Command line interface
Autolink
DNS
Http Client
Webserver
SNMP
Maintenence events for various interfaces (Ethernet, ADSL, SHDSL, DDS, etc.)
Fan Control
EFM (Ethernet in first mile)
NQM Network Quality Monitor
TopTalkers
OAM
Ping
Traceroute
DHCP
PPPoE
LLDP
Port Auth.
Bridging (Aging cache)
Clustering
GVRP
IGMP
VoIP Name Service
VQM (Voice Quality Monitoring)
Maintenence event for layer 2 (encap) protocols (PPP, FR, ATM)
Were you viewing the CPU in the web interface? Sometimes the web interface has a tendency to make the CPU spike for a short period.
Let us know if you have any questions..
Thanks,
