Cisco 2950/2960 memory related questions

[Steph1963]

Hi Everybody,

Can anybody confirm me that the processor memory shown with show ver command is in fact the DRAM. Also would like to know what is the meaning of 61440K/4088K. Does the 1st number corresponds to the DRAM size, what does the second number refers to?

Also would like to know if the flash-simulated non-volatile configuration memory is in fact the NVRAM.

Cisco 2950

cisco WS-C2950G-24-EI (RC32300) processor (revision L0) with 21013K bytes of memory.
32K bytes of flash-simulated non-volatile configuration memory.

Cisco 2960

cisco WS-C2960-48TC-L (PowerPC405) processor (revision B0) with 61440K/4088K bytes of memory.

64K bytes of flash-simulated non-volatile configuration memory.

Thanks for your help

Stéphane

Stéphane,

To get the total DRAM for your switch, you add the 2 numbers together.  In your case 61440+4088=65528.  So you have 64MB of memory.

<64K bytes of flash-simulated non-volatile configuration memory>

This is NVRAM, and holds you startup config.  Also flash holds the IOS image
