Cisco IOS Failure due to Virus

Mon Sep 15 17:49:52 UTC 2003

We are seeing the same problem on all of the 6400-nrp aggregation boxes we
have in the network.  Here is the IOS bug ID - CSCec12495.. Actually by rate
limiting icmp on our network the problems have stopped/slowed down a lot.

Sorry for the delay.. Was out of the country for a while..

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the info. We are running dCEF...routers show about 4% CPU load
and the following memory:

BR02#sh mem              
               Head   Total(b)    Used(b)    Free(b)  Lowest(b) Largest(b)
Processor  613AE340   247798976   106515996   141282980   140653360
134546752
     Fast  6138E340     131080      37240      93840      93840      93788

Also, we are not blocking 92 byte ICMP due to the traceroute problems on
customers networks...

Thanks
