Description

Evo Memory utilization after router reboot

Symptoms

show chassis routing-engine reports increased memory utilization after router reboot for few days.

Solution

In Evo systems, it's expected that after router reboot the system memory increases 8-12% or more due to the default tracing activity even though the route scale is same.

During this time, buffer/cache memory will keep increasing till it stabilizes.

The following commands can be used to verify the memory consumption:

  1. show chassis routing-engine 
  2. show system processes extensive 
  3. show system memory

 

If the memory is continuously increasing even after 2 weeks, the increase in memory can be troubleshooted to identify which app is increasing from the above commands.

 

Please reach out to JTAC for troubleshooting the issue further.
