MALLOC FAIL on 2900 series router

[ayokunles]

hello guys,

I am having an issue with one of my routers which is complaining of memory fragmentation.

to make matters worse its our internet edge router, it runs NAT and we are proposing running webvpn on it.

don't know what the problem is, but we have already replaced it with another one and its still giving the same problem.

any options.

Upgrade the IOS.

I currently use c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M4.bin

Which one can i upgrade to?

Agree with Leo, upgrade the ios or open the TAC case for digging more into this issue.

hello

Thanks guys for your help, I actually found this post very useful and it reduced the memory utilization a lot, although it is still under observation, but its working for now.
