Hello everyone,

I have some Flex100s on production, but I have a specific site for a healthcare company where I see high usage (to be clear, it happens more often than other sites) compared to generated traffic:

As you can see the usage is about 31% and it seems strange due to the fact it is a small network with about 20 clients and no outgoing traffic (see wan1 Utilization).

So my question is what the firewall is processing, is it possible to see what it is doing via Nebula?

Maybe some threats? Some ADPs? Some IDPs?

    Hi @GiuseppeR

    There are several factors that can affect CPU usage, and a usage level of around 54% is generally not considered high. To check the current CPU status of your firewall, you can connect via SSH and use the following commands:

    show cpu all

    show cpu status

    show cpu average

    debug system ps

    If you need further assistance, you can enable Zyxel Support and provide us with your organization and site name. We can then remotely access your site via SSH and investigate further.

    Additionally, to maintain optimal performance, ensure your firewall is running the latest firmware. The current version for the USG FLEX 100 is V5.39.

    Hi @GiuseppeR

    As discussed via email, you encountered difficulties with the firmware upgrade due to insufficient memory space on the device. After rebooting, you successfully upgraded to the latest firmware version.

    Please monitor the CPU usage and let us know if you notice any abnormal behavior. If you need further assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out again.
