If you have ever worked with Cisco ISR4K platform, you probably know that these routers have plenty of horsepower. That is, you will probably hit the licensed throughput limit before you even get to 50% on CPU. This can be very frustrating when you troubleshoot, because you need to know (a) platform’s throughput (b) current load. What I always hated is the fact that Cisco doesn’t make required information available to public. For example, the only document about ISR4K performance I found was classified as ‘Cisco Confidential’ and even that one lacked any information about troubleshooting guidelines. Anyway, I’ll keep this post short. Here’s the troubleshooting methodology I use (inc hidden commands I got from Cisco TAC).
First, confirm your throughput license using
show platform hardware throughput level
Next, confirm your current load
show platform hardware qfp active datapath utilization summary
This command’s output has the following format
R01#show platform hardware qfp active datapath utilization summary CPP 0: 5 secs 1 min 5 min 60 min Input: Total (pps) 146900 138298 138835 144773 (bps) 788959872 737618904 739876248 781833728 Output: Total (pps) 147210 138599 139147 145079 (bps) 787025520 735895536 738145760 779860744 Processing: Load (pct) 46 44 44 46
You are interested in Processing Load percentage. Router above has 2Gbps (max) licensed throughput. 46% of its processing capacity has been consumed, which is slightly lower than I would expect: 2000 * 46% = 920Mbps. In my understanding there’s some overhead as well. In any case, if you see 99 or 100% in Processing Load, then you’re hitting your processing/throughput limit. Router’s CPU load does not matter (in the majority of cases), because throughput limit is usually being hit first. CPU load of the router in this example was at 1%.
To change the throughput license the following things should happen
- Firstly, acquire the license from Cisco. It is FL-44-PERF-K9 for ISR 4400 Series, FL-4350-PERF-K9 for ISR 4351, FL-4330-PERF-K9 for ISR 4331 and FL-4320-PERF-K9 for ISR 4321. Remember, this upgrade will only double available throughput. That’s it. You won’t get more than double. ISR 4331 is an exception, where it will be tripled (from 100Mbps to 300Mbps).
- Secondly, accept EULA for throughput license using the following EXEC-level command
license right-to-use move throughput
- Next, configure new throughput level using the following CONFIG command
R01(config)#platform hardware throughput level ? 1000000 throughput in kbps 2000000 throughput in kbps
- Finally, save configuration and reboot your ISR4K. Once loaded, confirm its current throughput level as per below.
R01#show platform hardware throughput level The current throughput level is 2000000 kb/s
