Cisco IOS Supervisor CPU Usage
• Make sure to distinguish interrupt and process level
• A CPU utilization value of 20% to 50% is normal, even under
minimal load with Power over Ethernet (PoE) line cards

CPU Troubleshooting Commands:
Cisco IOS Supervisor
• The Mgt Hi-Priority and Mgt Low-Priority are two processes
that Cisco Catalyst 4500 platform code runs
• These two processes share total CPU usage among other
Cisco IOS processes
The reason there are two processes is when a job in Cisco Catalyst 4500
platform takes longer time than expected or exceeds the max allocated
CPU time, the job would be run under low-priority for sometime until it's
usage is reduced, this would give other higher priority (IOS) process a
chance to run
• If the above two processes consume most of the CPU time
further investigation is now needed
