[Umesh Prajapati11238]

Hi All,

Let me know how to calculate memory utilization in cisco 2960 switches series, if I have to calcuate in percentage (%).

Please find the following details 

#show process memory 
Processor Pool Total: 423399628 Used: 27869696 Free: 395529932
I/O Pool Total: 33554432 Used: 11788856 Free: 21765576

Hey!

Processor Pool means memory that is going to be used by the CPU for storing process information (like normally in RAM on a PC)..

I/O Pool is used to buffer packets sent from and to the CPU (management traffic / controle plane traffic)..

So you have two different memory pools.
You just see the "total" value as 100%..

So for your Processor Memory in your example above, about 6.6% memory are utilized.

Let me know if that helps.
