Does anyone have a BugID for the memory leak issue in 4.2.176? Thanks,

I completely agree with the 4.2.176 statement. We are having the
same issue with the memory leak on our 14 controllers. After a
month of testing, we are upgrading to 4.2.205 at 5am tomorrow.

Howdy,
regarding 4.2.176 i can absolutely positively NOT recommend it as a
stable code base, 4.2.205 is a direct release containing a critical
bugfix that we had a direct hand in "motivating" cisco to fix
promptly.
4.2.176 contains a memory leak in involving mobility groups of size
(our setup is approximately 1700 APs with 18 controllers). This
memory leak is fatal, the general gist is that stateful information
regarding mobility clients isn't released properly from memory as
clients come/go, thus driving memory usage on controllers constantly
up until they crash ungracefully with little or no crash/log
information, controllers also take an inordinate (20+ minutes)
amount of time to recover from the crash, i presume because they're
attempting to log crash data and there isn't any memory available
for that. We observed controllers cycle to 98-99% memory every 8
weeks until they crashed. Working with the dev engineer they tested
and monitored two of our controllers for several weeks to identify
the issue. I don't know the "critical" size or number of APs/
controllers required to have this be a noticeable issue, but
ungraceful controller reboots occurred every 8 weeks with our setup.
We are currently running 4.2.205 and haven't experienced an "event"
anymore, so i'd recommend 4.2.205 if you need to run 4.2.x code, we
haven't had any experience with any 5.x code at all at this time,
since cisco pulled support for the 10xx series APs from anything
newer than 4.x.

I am also ( tempted ) to go with the 5.2 for CWAPP functionality if
time permit....
