3750 I/O memory high

[sathappan]

Hi,

I have a 3750 switch which reports 70% of I/O memory usage. Can you please help out in finding a document about the normal I/O memory values for the switches?

with thanks

Hi,

Can you post show mem output and find your busiest interface on this switch and do a show int. See if any buffer drops are happening.

Hi,

Please find below the show memory output. the show interface output is attached.

Hi Sathappan,

As per the output following observation can be taken into account

Processor memory utilization is 45.8964%.
Processor memory or main memory stores the running configuration and routing tables. The Cisco IOS software executes from main memory.The amount of processor memory required by the router is affected by the Cisco
IOS version used, the size of the network and by the access list configurations.
Ensure that an optimal IOS version has been chosen.

And few interfaces are having inpurt error also and can you also paste show process memory and show version output also.

Hi Ganesh,

Thanks for your efforts and time. I also got the same output from Output Interpreter.  But what I am looking for is the normal values for the I/O memory utilization.

If you could give me some links, it would be helpful

with thanks

I cannot get the exact normal value for I/O memory process but check out the below link hope this helps
