Problem with 7304

[ktadminadmin]

In my router 7304 the command 'show diag' represents next results (part of output):

...

TLB entries : 58

The work of this device is not very stable. What this messages (CacheMode=2, RW, Invalid) means? Is it hardware or software problem?

These are TLB entries and TLB stands for "Translation Lookaside Buffer".

It's a table of relation of Virtual

Address range and Physical Address range that RISC processor uses.

"Invalid" in TLB entries does NOT indicate HW/SW failure. That indicate an address

region that CPU doesn't use.

In this case, "Invalid" address region are defined as follows.

This is no problem.
