Cisco 2960 – How to Show RAM Usage

ciscocisco-iosethernetswitch

I'm trying to see how much RAM is being used by each switch.

The switch is a cisco WS-C2960-24TT-L IOS version 12.2.

This is what I am seeing from the switch when I run the show version command.

cisco WS-C2960-24TT-L (PowerPC405) processor (revision R0) with 65536K bytes of memory.

I've seen another 2960 Version 12.2 which showed the ram usage, however, this was a 2960-24TC-L switch.

Thanks

You can try to use command:

#show proc mem

you will get output like: 

Processor Pool Total:   43953664 Used:   12967924 Free:   30985740
      I/O Pool Total:    8388608 Used:    2998796 Free:    5389812

or for more detailed you can use:

#show memory summary
                Head    Total(b)     Used(b)     Free(b)   Lowest(b)  Largest(b)
Processor    1652A00    43953664    12972664    30981000    29707060    30031048
      I/O   80000000     8388608     2998920     5389688     3992572     4660984
[output omitted]

Total = the total amount of memory available after the system image loads and builds its data structures.

Used = the amount of memory currently allocated.

Free = the amount of memory currently free.

Lowest = the lowest amount of free memory recorded by the router since it was last booted.

Largest = the largest free memory block currently available.
