Show memory indicates the correct amount as does ASDM 6.03. Is this OK? ASDM actually shows the current used mem as 109mb. When the system only had 64mb, it showed 42mb used? Does the PIX throttle memory based on what's avail?</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 18 Dec 2007 18:07:18 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-515e-r-dmz-bun-max-ram/m-p/913448#M958461 shanemonson 2007-12-18T18:07:18Z Re: PIX-515E-R-DMZ-BUN - MAX RAM? https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-515e-r-dmz-bun-max-ram/m-p/913449#M958462 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Shane, I have not face yet this scenario in adding additional memory to PIX than the actual posted by specifications, perhaps someone in forum may comment on overall Fw code functionality in this type of scenario. Personally I tend to go by the book when in comes to hardware and firewalls simply to avoid risks of problems in network production, if it was in the case of personal firewall labs scenario sure, I would go ahead and install memory but I would fully test fw functionality.</P><P></P><P>Rgds</P><P>Jorge </P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:40:44 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-515e-r-dmz-bun-max-ram/m-p/913449#M958462 JORGE RODRIGUEZ 2007-12-18T19:40:44Z Re: PIX-515E-R-DMZ-BUN - MAX RAM? https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-515e-r-dmz-bun-max-ram/m-p/913450#M958463 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>This PIX is in a lab environment - </P><P>Does the PIX throttle resources based on available memory?</P><P>By limiting the memory and runing OS version 8.0.3 and ASDM 6.03, are we hindering performance or functionality?</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 18 Dec 2007 21:57:29 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-515e-r-dmz-bun-max-ram/m-p/913450#M958463 shanemonson 2007-12-18T21:57:29Z
