Re: ASR-9K CPU troubleshooting

[Micah Croff <micahcroff () gmail com>]

I've experienced similar behavior on other platforms as well.  Sometimes
the output of the box is not correct.  We were able to prove this to the
vendor by conducting experiments and graphing the CPU.  One of the
protocols they said "couldn't possibly be causing this" turned out to be
the root of the problem.

I live by one rule when troubleshooting:
The box is a lie.
