Workaround/ Solution --
There is a known bug to IOS 12.2(33)SXI2
These memory errors indicate that supervisor is running low on memory. In this case a memory leak bug in the IOS running on this switch is
leaking memory, here is the bug id:
CSCtb27643
cat6000 Medium buffers leak on SP leading to crash
Externally found catastrophic (Sev1) bug: R-Resolved
This bug is fixed in 12.2(33)SXI2a and higher IOS versions.
In order to confirm that, you will need the output of "show buffers" from the SP. To get this output from the SP, issue the command "remote login switch" which will take you to
the SP console and then issue the command "show buffers" at the SP console to get the output. Alternately, you may also use the command "remote command switch show
buffers" from the MSFC console itself to get the required output.
