Troubleshooting Commands

When the overall CPU utilization gets high, you can identify which pro-
cess is using the most CPU cycles, and then focus your attention on that
process. For example, if the IP-EIGRP CPU utilization runs high, you can
determine that there is a problem within EIGRP, perhaps a routing loop or
some other instability.
The second option, show processes memory, is used to associate mem-
ory utilization with the router's processes. Here is a sample output:
Router_D>show processes memory
