How many amount of RAM does my router have?

Hi,

Want to know the amount of RAM on my router 3660.

Did show version and saw:

cisco 3660 (R527x) processor (revision 1.0) with 118784K/12288K bytes of memory.

Is this the amount of RAM? And what is the difference between the figure before and after the slash?

Thanks for your help

Yes, that's the amount of RAM in your router. Add the two figures together for total: 131072K (128MB).

The figure before the slash is the amount of RAM that has been allocated for use as processor or system memory. Processor memory is used to store the running configuration and routing tables, and is where the IOS software is run.

The figure after the slash shows how much RAM has been allocated for use as I/O or shared memory. I/O memory is used for buffering packets on your router's network interfaces.

Hope this helps.

Hey,

Thanks a lot for your quick and clear answer
