FPR-1010 High memory usage - FTD code

[SinRez]

Hi,

We have a FPR-1010 with the FTD code 6.6.x code and also being managed by FDM and not FMC which has high memory since day one.

I noticed since these FPRs should have 8 GB of memory but when i type show memory or show version it only shows close to 3 GB of total memory. Can someone let me know why this is that?

Hardware: FPR-1010, 2830 MB RAM, CPU Atom C3000 series 2200 MHz, 1 CPU (4 cores)

# show memory
Free memory: 726218050 bytes (24%)
Used memory: 2241345152 bytes (76%)
------------- ------------------
Total memory: 2967563202 bytes (100%)

Note: Free memory is the free system memory. Additional memory may
be available from memory pools internal to the firewall process.
Use 'show memory detail' to see this information, but use it
with care since it may cause CPU hogs and packet loss under load.

But when I go to the expert mode it shows 8 GB of memory

FTD1:/home/admin# grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo

MemTotal:        8114616 kB

I would appreciate if someone could help.

Hi there. While Cisco is tagging this with a bugid, I do see what you mean about it not technically being a bug. The workaround is pretty simple but in the event multiple images are required, that is a real problem on the lower end platforms for sure. Anyway, after removing 2 of the 3 images that were essentially "duplicates" and rebooting the firewall, my FPR-1010 is now down to 76% and holding steady. So hopefully we have this solved.
