Hi All,
I want to use ISR-4451 as an Internet CPE for dual-homed Full BGP customer. There are two IPv4 and two IPv6 Full BGP sessions and it consumes significant amount of memory.
There is memory extended to 8GB in this router but IOS XE is using just 4GB.
Troubleshooting guide says: “Upon startup, IOSd is granted access to a fixed amount of physical memory on the RP typically 50 percent.”
But in reality IOSd get just 1.4GB from total 8GB memory (under IOS 3.10.2S)

Does anybody know how to push router to use all memory?
