What model of switch are these? What version of software were you upgrading from and to?

[david de sousa]

the model is C2950G-48-EI

i upgraded the ios image c2950-I6L2Q4-M to c2950-I6K2L2Q4

and then i have the alert of insufficient memory, but i did that on other switch, and all the 2940 and 2950 show the same issue. not all with this logging message, but all with insufficient memory alerts.

thanks

I suggest moving to a non-crypto image or upgrade to a 2960 model.
