    I am having the the same 100% CPU issue with GS1900-8HP here.
    Latest firmware V2.40(AAHI.2) | 06/05/2019, but solution from @Zyxel_Lucious is not working.
    After reboot the CPU is fine, haven't tested after which time it goes up.
    Any other hints for a solution? No loops detected.

    Kindly check any security devices and solutions - antiviruses, network scanners, etc.
    In my situation problem was when LANSweeper started network scan. It always raised CPU load.

    I'm newbie to network details. But is it possible that a rsync backup-job not finding the target could cause this mess? Deactivated the job on NAS and so far ... keep fingers crossed

    And what about memory usage at 70% without real traffic (only my mac when writing this)?
    Only service that comes to my mind is the SAT>IP Server running.

    Hi @Tiron

    Welcome to Zyxel community.

    As @Yuri_S mentioned, some security related application/scanner may cause the issue.

    Try using "Remote Access Control" (Configuration -> Management -> Remote Access Control) restricting a desired access IP range. It prevents untrusted packet from CPU processing.

    As for memory, because of certain background process running in normal operating, the memory usage 70% can be considered no problem on GS1900 series.

    Would this be the correct setting to only allow one IP for remote access? All other will be ignored?

    No, your source ip mask is 255.255.255.0, its allow 192.168.5.0/24 to access switch.
    If you want to allow only for 192.168.5.20  to remote access, source ip mask should be "255.255.255.255".
