show memory process

show memory process name {slot slotid}

Description

Displays the current system memory and that of the specified process.

Syntax Description

name

Specifies the name of the process.

slotid

In a modular switch, slotid specifies the slot number of the MSM/MM module:

A specifies the MSM installed in slot A.
B specifies the MSM installed in slot B.

In a SummitStack, slotid specifies the slot number of the node in the stack topology. The value can be from 1 to 8.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

Viewing statistics on a regular basis allows you to see how well your network is performing. When you keep simple daily records, you see trends emerging and notice problems arising before they cause major network faults. This way, statistics can help you get the best out of your network.

This information may be useful for your technical support representative if you experience a problem.

Depending on the software version running on your switch or your switch model, additional or different memory information might be displayed.

You can also use the show memory {slot [slotid | a | b]} command to view the system memory and the memory used by the individual processes, even for all processes on all MSMs/MMs installed in modular switches.

SummitStack Only

When you issue the command with out any parameters:

From the stack manager or backup node, the stack displays current system memory and that of the specified process running on the master node and the back-up node in the Active Topology.
From a standby node, the stack displays current system memory and that of the specified process running on the master node and the standby node in the Active Topology.

Reading the Output

The show memory process command displays the following information in a tabular format:

System memory information (both total and free).
Current memory used by the individual processes.

The current memory statistics for the individual process also includes the following:

The module (MSM A or MSM B) and the slot number of the MSM/MM (modular switches only).
The name of the process.

Example

The following example displays system memory and VRRP memory usage:

show memory process vrrp

The following is sample output from a modular switch:
