Hi, We have a 3750X stack of two switches running software 12.2(58)SE2 which has crashed after logging memory allocation errors.  We have this software deployed on numerous other stacks but they are Layer 2 only.  This particular stack is in a development lab and configured for Layer 3 for about a dozen VLANs with minimal traffic. As such being in a dev lab this switch doesn't have support, hence posting here for any possible answers while we look to get cover and log a call.  Our concern being is this error indicative of a hardware fault, or a software bug that is only relavent to Layer 3 configuration.  A concern as elsewhere in the network we are in the process of commissioning another 3750X stack with this software which will be live and running Layer 3 IP routing. The error logged is;                *Aug 13 18:06:13.367: %SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL: Memory allocation of 65536 bytes failed from 0x1A72728, alignment 0 Pool: Processor  Free: 219960  Cause: Memory fragmentation Alternate Pool: None  Free: 0  Cause: No Alternate pool -Process= "RedEarth Rx Manager", ipl= 0, pid= 86 -Traceback= 533568z 1A1E294z 1A2F910z 1A7272Cz 1A1DF0Cz 1A2A484z 2838518z 1C7C798z 21DC4CCz 21DA52Cz 24E4404z 24E49A0z 26D5768z 26CF5DCz *Aug 13 18:06:43.382: %SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL: Memory allocation of 65536 bytes failed from 0x1A72728, alignment 0 Pool: Processor  Free: 207688  Cause: Memory fragmentation Alternate Pool: None  Free: 0  Cause: No Alternate pool -Process= "hrpc <- response", ipl= 0, pid= 94 *Aug 13 18:07:13.413: %SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL: Memory allocation of 65536 bytes failed from 0x1A72728, alignment 0 Pool: Processor  Free: 196592  Cause: Memory fragmentation Alternate Pool: None  Free: 0  Cause: No Alternate pool -Process= "hrpc <- response", ipl= 0, pid= 94 -Traceback= 533568z 1A1E294z 1A2F910z 1A7272Cz 1A1DF0Cz 1A2A484z 2838518z 207BE9Cz 207B490z 21825E4z 21823C0z 2182B2Cz 26D5768z 26CF5DCz *Aug 13 18:07:41.280: %PLATFORM_RPC-0-RESOURCE_CRASH: System is unable to alloc memory for RPC *Aug 13 18:06:13.367: %SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL: Memory allocation of 65536 bytes failed from 0x1A72728, alignment 0 Pool: Processor  Free: 219960  Cause: Memory fragmentation Alternate Pool: None  Free: 0  Cause: No Alternate pool -Process= "RedEarth Rx Manager", ipl= 0, pid= 86 -Traceback= 533568z 1A1E294z 1A2F910z 1A7272Cz 1A1DF0Cz 1A2A484z 2838518z 1C7C798z 21DC4CCz 21DA52Cz 24E4404z 24E49A0z 26D5768z 26CF5DCz *Aug 13 18:06:43.382: %SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL: Memory allocation of 65536 bytes failed from 0x1A72728, alignment 0 Pool: Processor  Free: 207688  Cause: Memory fragmentation Alternate Pool: None  Free: 0  Cause: No Alternate pool -Process= "hrpc <- response", ipl= 0, pid= 94 Many thanks Adam ...

Hi, We have an application being commissioned which requires extended passive FTP (EPSV) (RFC2428) The application seems very unreliable when traversing our FWSM, though reliable when the client application is in the same DMZ as the FTP server.  We can see no denials and on occassions the FTP does work, however we do see a number of "TCP Reset-I" showing and on reading into EPSV it seems if this is an issue or unsupported it can manifest itself without showing anything really in the firewall logs. Can anyone confirm if EPSV is supported on FWSM software 3.2(2) which we are currently running, I had read that on PIX it was only supported on 7.0 and later, but have been unable to find where support came in on the FWSM. We are planning to upgrade the software on the FWSM to the latest 4.1 software release and it would be good to know prior to the upgrade whether this issue may be resolved, or if the issue has nothing to do with the 3.2(2) softwares handling of EPSV. Many thanks Adam. ... View more

Hi, I am new to the forum and have a question regarding the Supervisor 2T and a VSS setup with 4 supervisors.  We have been trying to get the system working configured with Quad supervisor uplink forwarding, where if my thinking is correct the In Chassis Spares in each chassis should be booted to the point the interfaces are visible and it is in a RPR-Warm stanby state.                   However we have been unable to get to this point, with the ICS only getting as far as rommon and the interfaces Te1/6/X and Te2/6/X not being visible.  The hardware is new and is running the latest 15 version of IOS (it was one version behind of the 15 but we upgraded in an attempt to get it working) The odd thing is after checking everything we have found and confirming the hardware is right, we tried entering the command no switch virtual in-chassis standby bootup mismatch-check and the command was not even recognised. Any help/advice welcome Many thanks Adam ... View more
