Cisco gurus:
Sorry for the off topic again.
I configed slb on two 6509s (native IOS, version 12.1(12c)E5). The performance is disappointing. The traffic to load balaced servers is about 4M/s. Previously, cpu load was less than 5%, now it's 30%. sh run sometimes takes 10 minutes to show up. A lot of messages like below come up. Our hardware (SUP1A, MSFC2 and PFC)dictates that IOS 12.1(12c)E5 may be the highest version that we can run.
I can only find one technical tip regarding SLB on 6500, and it's quite basic. Seems not too many people use this feature.
Can someone share your experience with this feature?
Thanks,
Weidong
