Hi all,

Trying to get this stable:

CCIE BGP Lab - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=622 - yes, using the prescribed image.

Running on ESXi with:

R710 / CPU X5670 @ 2.93GHz

144GB RAM

Most of there resources are less then 50% utilized.

So, I start even just two routers, BGP comes up and life is good. "Status" on EVE shows about 2% But, in about 5-10 minutes, SecureCRT sessions lose their connection. Status then goes to like ~30%

Now, I've run other labs and never had an issue. Anything to check?

Appears to be the code, at least for me. Put on L3-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M-15.4-2T.bin and it works fine.

i86bi_linux-adventerprisek9-ms.155-2.T - 100% cpu issues after 5 mins or so.
