Hello, *Dead* is nothing but processes as a group that are now dead.
"Holding" is Amount of memory currently allocated to the process. "Allocated" is Bytes of memory allocated by the process. "Freed" is Bytes of memory freed by the process, regardless of who originally allocated it. Please try on following command, you may get glue #show memory dead #show memory debug unused #show memory #show processes --- On Wed, 6/17/09, Tseveendorj <[email protected]> wrote: From: Tseveendorj <[email protected]> Subject: [c-nsp] 3825 memory issue To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 6:12 AM Hello, I'm using 3825 router to provide internet for ADSL customers. Last week I configured policy-map to provide different bandwidth usage. Since this time my routers memory usage goes up. border-r#sh processes memory sorted allocated Processor Pool Total: 143619888 Used: 118621160 Free: 24998728 I/O Pool Total: 36699648 Used: 10651088 Free: 26048560 PID TTY Allocated Freed Holding Getbufs Retbufs Process 0 0 4186877216 4187728860 1501456 256604 0 *Dead* 104 0 110901912 6213036 95681064 0 0 PPP IP Route 224 0 79114360 79153804 8752 0 0 crypto sw pk pro 0 0 45088716 14947936 24508036 0 0 *Init* 219 0 26739468 26964080 13060 0 0 SNMP ENGINE 217 0 17194704 16959140 24012 0 0 IP SNMP 1 0 16815572 15676464 1146168 0 0 Chunk Manager 225 0 12566668 12602840 170956 0 0 VTEMPLATE Backgr 213 0 5154176 13760992 38104 0 0 PPP Events 18 0 4428420 4428088 7392 0 0 ARP Background 210 0 3901896 1455596 422460 0 0 PPPoE Discovery 88 0 3291920 3138964 82928 0 0 IP Input 109 0 2823624 0 13060 0 0 TCP Protocols 209 0 1489464 320004 606848 0 0 PPPoE Background 83 0 1131888 0 7060 0 0 AAA ACCT Proc 222 0 969124 4249452 67108 0 0 RADIUS 82 0 953112 252 13664 0 0 AAA Server 207 0 750732 4252 775844 0 0 L2TP mgmt daemon 59 0 648724 1328 629396 0 0 USB Startup PID TTY Allocated Freed Holding Getbufs Retbufs Process 95 0 439864 305652 243420 0 0 SSS Manager 77 578 413692 401112 24988 0 0 Virtual Exec 178 0 350580 1918340 7060 0 0 AAA SEND STOP EV 25 0 263208 0 272656 113400 0 EEM ED Syslog 198 0 250300 250300 13060 0 0 Syslog 167 0 247992 0 255052 0 0 QOS_MODULE_MAIN 188 0 119396 7344 125844 0 0 EEM Server 122 0 108244 252 115052 0 0 SCTP Main Proces 120 0 104664 252 103352 0 0 DHCPD Receive 93 0 98112 504 13060 0 0 PPP Hooks 106 0 73808 0 73808 0 0 CEF process 142 0 73236 252 72648 0 0 FLEX DSPRM MAIN 17 0 72948 32844 47164 0 0 ARP Input 24 0 72748 0 79808 0 0 Entity MIB API 40 0 67568 4424 7060 0 0 TTY Background 103 0 66736 0 76796 0 0 IP RIB Update 4 0 65588 0 90648 0 0 EDDRI_MAIN 152 0 59568 73276 7060 0 0 LOCAL AAA 54 0 57904 252 64712 0 0 VNM DSPRM MAIN 206 0 56660 0 15868 0 0 SSH Event handle 84 0 49384 0 56444 0 0 ACCT Periodic Pr 226 0 47236 16108 16152 0 0 BGP Router I have several questions. 1. What is *Dead* process ? it takes many memory why ? 2. Is there any unknown process working ? 3. How do I decrease memory usage ? 4. What is column of memory real usage ?
