I have an ACX2100 with high CPU usage in all FPCs.

bcmDPC CPU assumption is not so high.

But I see the below log continuously in the log messages:

%PFE-3: feb0 unit 0 L2X entry 23823 parity error

Please, give me some ideas to handle this case. Thanks.

There are KB about that log. This may be a harmless log and can resolve by restarting feb.

https://supportportal.juniper.net/s/article/ACX-Different-parity-errors-are-seen-on-ACX-platforms

ACX1k, ACX2k and ACX4k platforms may be exposed to harmless parity errors that appear in messages.log.

There are two different types of parity errors: Soft parity errors, which disappear after a FEB restart in the affected device.

Hard parity errors, which reappear even after a FEB restart. In this case, the errors are due to hardware problems and a replacement of the affected device is needed. In most situations, unless obviously noticed, the parity errors are harmless for ACX1k, ACX2k and ACX4k platforms when printed in the form of messages.log. The only impact is the logs being printed frequently.
