Killing stuck process

Arista:
# bash
$ ps –ef | grep -i Stp
$ sudo kill PID

CheckPoint:
ps -auxww  Report all active processes in the kernel we can see zombi process with this command  (z)
You must first identify the parent process of these zombies;
ps -l -p <pid of zombie>
pidof fwd (splat)
pgrep -l sshd   Find the PIDs of processes by (part of) name
ps axjf              See in tree format also i can see parent pid )
pmap PID       Memory map of process (good for hunting memory leaks)

Displaying the top 10 CPU-consuming processes (% of total usage)
ps aux | head -1; ps aux | sort -rn +2 | head -10
Displaying the processes in order of real memory use
ps vx | head -1 ; ps vx | grep -v PID | sort -rn +6 | head -10

Displaying the processes using whatchdog (CPWD) for  (CDP,FWM,FWD)

Kill a Firewall process
kill -9 (pid of process)
fw kill [-t sig] proc_name
Example:
fw kill -t 9 fwm
Also process can be kill with top command and just press -k follow by process PID

Cisco:
# show processes cpu sorted
# clear sockets PID

# ps ax | grep -i sshd
# kill -9 PID

Stackwise, VSS, VPC, MLAG

SOURCE:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12367366/vss-vs-stackwise-vs-vpc

Stackwise:
This is the Proprietary cabling mechanism and is limited to distance. The advantage of Stackwise over VSS is that you can add/stack around 9 devices at one go.Were as you cant do the same with VSS.

Another advantage is that if stacking device does not require any configuration only that the device needs to be supported.
Cisco StackWise technology unites up to nine individual switches into a single logical unit, using special stack-interconnect cables and stacking software. The individual switches can be any combination of Cisco Catalyst 3750 and Cisco Catalyst 3750-E Series Switches.

VSS (Virtual Switching System):
SOURCE:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-6500-virtual-switching-system-1440/prod_qas0900aecd806ed74b.html

VSS can be done with 4500 or 6500 series . It supports only two chasis and it uses 10GE interfaces and can be geographically separated.

VPC (Virtual PortChannel):
SOURCE:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/nexus-5000-series-switches/configuration_guide_c07-543563.html

It is Nexus specific technology and you cant configure this with other catalyst switches.
This is the new technology were in you can connect one switch (Access)to two uplink switches(distribution switch) and form an ether channel between them. Thats the good advantage of VPC which none of them have.

MLAG (Multichassis Link Aggregation):
SOURCE:
http://ethancbanks.com/2014/03/27/the-ethernet-switching-landscape-part-04-multichassis-link-aggregation-mlag/

Both Arista’s MLAG and Cisco’s vPC are similar to configure and operate, with similar concerns. In general, I found the Arista MLAG setup a bit easier, because many of the details are handled for the network operator when compared to the more granular fussiness of the vPC configuration.

MLAG is the ability of two and sometimes more switches to act like a single switch when forming link bundles. This allows a host to uplink to two switches for physical diversity, while still only having a single bundle interface to manage.

Also, two switches could connect to two other switches using MLAG, with all links forwarding.

For access layer when I have only 3750 stackable switches I cant do VSS or VPC on that hence would be using stacking and connecting them together to have single access.

6500/4500 I would use the VSS here at the distribution layer to avoid much impact.
VPC is best but you need to have Nexus device if you want to use this feature.
