Explanation
These messages indicate that the total free memory buffers have become 0. This can be caused by a
software or hardware problem.
Action
When the switch runs out of MBufs for any reason, it will print a full dump of the occurrence in the
syslog. If the system has not recovered (i.e., network connectivity is lost), use the
show tech-support
and
show log commands to capture the log and reboot the switch. Monitor the switch to ensure that
this problem does not recur due to hardware-related memory problems. Send the log information to
Technical Support to review the configuration to ensure that nothing specific to the configuration is
causing the problem.
