Using Command-Line Diagnostics
:vxdiag_memshow
Use the :vxdiag_memshow command to display information on the access point’s free and allocated
memory. The access point’s current memory information might look like the following example:
status bytes blocks avg block max block
------ --------- -------- ---------- ----------
current
free 7386392 476 15517 7296288
alloc 6738808 10837 621 -
cumulative
alloc 13483152 126889 106 -
These are descriptions for each information column:
• Status—the memory statuses described in the table, including current free memory, current
allocated memory, and cumulative allocated memory, which is the total bytes and blocks of memory
ever allocated by the access point
• bytes—the memory for each status described in bytes
• blocks—the memory for each status described in contiguous blocks; indicates the level of
fragmentation in the access point’s memory
• avg block—the average block size; simply put, the number in the bytes column divided by the
number in the blocks column
• max block—the maximum contiguous memory block available
Follow the steps in the “Entering Diagnostic Commands” section on page 13-16 to open the CLI and
enter the :vxdiag_memshow command.
