The 

 command displays the 

MPX’s

 memory statistics. The statistics will tell you how 

memory is currently being used and help determine if memory problems exist, such as 
memory exhaustion. To view the 

MPX’s

 memory statistics, enter

at the system prompt. A screen similar to the following will be displayed.

The fields displayed by the 

 command are described below.

. The statistics appear in two groups: 

 and 

. The current status shows 

free and allocated memory. The cumulative status shows only allocated memory. Cumulative 
memory is the total amount of memory that has been allocated since the switch was started 
up. This value increases each time a memory allocation takes place. It can never decrease.

. The number of bytes for free and allocated memory.

. Block size is dynamic and depends upon memory usage and the amount of fragmen-

tation.

. The average block indicates the average size of all the memory blocks.

. The maximum block indicates the largest free memory block available. When this 

value drops to around 10K it usually indicates that the free memory is highly fragmented and 
probably near exhaustion.

. The total number of megabytes available in the 

MPX’s

 memory.
