Router(config)# test virtual-template 11 subinterface
Subinterfaces cannot be created using Virtual-Template11
Interface specific commands:
carrier-delay 45
Monitoring PPP Sessions Using the SNMP Management Tools
To prevent the virtual-access subinterfaces from being registered with the SNMP functionality of the
router and using memory, do not use the router’s SNMP management tools to monitor PPP sessions. Use
the no virtual-template snmp command to disable the SNMP management tools (
Example 2-11 Preventing SNMP Registration of Virtual-Access Subinterfaces
Router(config)# no virtual-template snmp
SNMP Process and High CPU Utilization
Network management applications retrieve information from devices by using SNMP. If a user
application polls the SNMP MIBs while the router is updating its routing table, the SNMP engine
process can cause CPU HOG messages to appear and sessions and tunnels to go down until the process
releases the CPU.
