Extended Monitoring of CPU Utilisation

This Software Version includes a new feature for monitoring CPU utilisation. You can now set the router or switch to capture data about which specific functions the CPU is executing, and the level of instantaneous usage the CPU is experiencing. This allows you, in conjunction with your authorised distributor or reseller, to diagnose the causes of high rates of CPU utilisation on the router or switch.

You can set the router or switch to capture data continuously, or only when the CPU experiences a specific level of instantaneous usage. The router or switch holds up to 500 entries (10 seconds) of data about CPU utilisation.
