I try to insert a picture, to make the situation easily understandable.
The problem: After I have connected one more PC to the unmanaged switch, it cannot connect to network neither by DHCP IP, nor Static IP. (Physical Link is Ok, but no communication)
Tests made:
- PC1 turned off, to test connection, but PC2 cannot connect
- portfast has been turned off on the port of Cisco (which connects to Mediaconverter), but PC2 cannot connect
- PC2 has been reinstalled, replaced, other network adapter has been inserted, but cannot connect.
- the unmanaged switch has been replaced to a new one, but no success.
PC2 can connect to Cisco only if connected directly to RJ45 port of D-link Mediaconverter. But this is not a solution, because in that office, I would need for both of the PCs.
running config of the switch:
System image file is "flash:c2900XL-c3h2s-mz-120.5.2-XU.bin"
cisco WS-C2924C-XL (PowerPC403GA) processor (revision 0x11) with 8192K/1024K byt
es of memory.
Model number: WS-C2924C-XL-EN

I read that there are internal and external flash memory in 3725 router that can max up to 128mb. So adding the sizes of internal and external flash memory, will that total to 256mb?
And also is the internal flash of 3725 just the same with its external flash?

have 3 Catalyst 3750 in same stack, the IOS version is 12.2(53)SE2. Today we can not telnet/ssh to this switch, but ping is ok, and switch function is ok. I try to access the console port, it show "low on memory, try again later". After I reboot the master switch in the stack, the master switch change to another switch, then I can telnet/ssh to this switch. I check the Ciscoworks server syslog report, there are many MAC address flapping error message, and I beleive the MAC address flapping occured before several weeks. ( the G2/0/15 & G3/0/15 is connect to a VMware ESX server and the EtherChannel config mismatch with this Catalyst 3750 switch ) How to mention the root cause of the "low on memory" problem and what is the abnormal memory usage ( free memory percentage below ?% )?

I recently tried to manually format the flash on a model WS-2960S-48TS-L switch running IOS version 15.0(2)SE. While executing the operation I got the following error - mifs[8]: Failed to create superblock %Error formatting flash (I/O error).As a result the flash is no longer accessible by the switch. I spoke with Cisco and they indicated that a switch reload would remount the flash and make it accessable again but the .bin file would need to be reloaded using the xModem recovery procedure (what a pain).The next IOS version 15.0(2)SE1 will supposedly fix this bug but it has not been released yet. In the meantime if you are running 15.0(2)SE you may want to hold off performing a "format flash:" function on a 2960S.

I have Catalyst 6509 E with redudant SUP720-3B (and MSFC3) running 12.2(18)SXF6 IP Services Lan Only IOS (this IOS requires 512MB DRAM and 64MB of flash) SUP has 512MB DRAM (458720K/65536K) and 512MB sup-bootdisk:, but, there is65536K bytes of Flash internal SIMM (Sector size 512K).
My question is can I put 12.2(33)SXJ3 IP Services Lan Only IOS to this 6500 because this IOS requires 512MB DRAM and 512MB od flash?This is "sh ver" and "dir all-filesystems" of my 6500:

after upgrading about 35 Catalyst 2960 and Catalyst 2960S to IOS 15.0(2)SE2, we experience a memory leak on several switches. After some days / weeks the switches are not accessible via Console/Telnet/SSH/Web any more. Only SNMP seems to work properly.Attached users do not experience any decrease in service.
Trying to connect to the console, we get following error message:
"% Low on memory; try again later"
The only (temporary) solution is to reboot the switch. The behavior is similar to Bug CSCts52797.With regards to the Bug notes this bug should only affect Catalyst 2960 with 64MB of RAM and should already be solved with IOS 15.0(2)SE2.
We experience the erroneous behavior with
-WS-C2960-48TC-S running IOS 15.0(2)SE2
-WS-C2960S-48LPS-L running IOS 15.0(2)SE2

I am using using an old 2900XL switch which has IOS V 11 which I tried to update to IOS 12.05. I followed a cisco procedure which instructed me delete the current OS file and then upload the new one with TFTP server.
I managed to delete the file however seconds after the deletion we had a power cut so now the switch is without an OS and all of the commands that I could need to continure the IOS upgrade are not available.What can I do to update my switch now?

Has any come across show ver memory details on 3750G-48PS as below, One of our Catalyst 3750G running software 12.2(44)SE2 shows unexpected DRAM as below:
cisco WS-C3750G-48PS (PowerPC405) processor (revision F0) with 0K/12280K bytes of memory. This would equate to around 11MB memory which does not seem right... Is it a known IOS bug?

I have a WS- C2924C-XL switch that I would like to upgrade the IOS version on. The IOS version in question can only be installled on an 8MB version of this switch, I have tried to confirm the amount of memory present in the device but I am getting conflicting values depending on where I look.The model number would indicate that this device is a 4MB version, therefore not compatable with the upgrade.Running the show version command from the CLI shows Processor having 8192K/1024K bytes of memory.Accessing the switch via the VMS management interface displays a value of 4MB.

We have a Cisco Catalyst 4506 running: "Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst 4000 L3 Switch Software (cat4000-I9K91S-M), Version 12.2(25)EWA14, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)" I have configured the default gateway as: ip default-gateway X.Y.116.65, However, when I do, "show ip route", it only shows the 3 connected networks and states "Gateway of last resort is not set". The Command "ip classless" is not set. I read on some blogs that this might explain the issue. However, when I go into config mode (config t), I get the following output.

Trying to copy the system image file from the sup-bootflash to a new 64MB ATA flash card. Yes the software can support the 64MB card.
The ATA flash card was formated successfully, however I cannot copy the system image to it so that it can boot after a power loss.
The command I tried was: console(enabled) copy sup-bootflash: slot0:
The source filename was typed in as shown in the Show Verison command.The result was: Error opening slot0: no such device.I suspect that I am missing something obvious as I am new to Cisco Switches.

We have a customer that has a ASA 5525-x reporting only 4g flash memory rather than 8g has any 4g version of the 5525 or is the IOS reporting incorrectly the size, as it seems to be embedded on these units as a USB disk internal.

Currently I have C2801 with 256MB of memory and 64MB of flash. I want to upgrade it to 384MB / 128MB.Do I need to get MEM2801-256D or I can use any PC133 SDRAM (144PIN) for memory? 384 is maximum I can install? Do I need to get MEM1800-128CF or I can use any compant flash card? 128MB is maximum I can install? (I saw 256MB flash on for C2801)

if there is a Flash Memory upgrade option for the ACE4710 that they have.He says he needs more memory so that he can have two images on flash at once. From what I can find, there does not seem to be an upgrade option to increase the flash from the 1 Gig that comes with the platform.

I have a cisco 2821 router configured as a CME version 7.1. Now I want to upgrade the IOS to version 15 to get a CME version 8.6 but I faced a problem that the flash of the 2821 is 64MB and the IOS version 15 required flash 128MB. I tried to replace this flash with another 128MB installed on Cisco 2811 router but when I installed the 128MB flash on the 2821 CME the 2821 didn't boot from it.

I recently upgraded the flash and the RAM on one of my ASA 5505 lab machines. The flash was upgraded from 128 to 512MB and the RAM was also upgraded from 256 to 512MB. I am using asa845-k8.bin. The firewall boots and runs file until you issue the reload command. The system shuts down but never reloads.

We have one Catalyst 6506 ( with WS-SUP720-3B, IOS is 12.2(18)SXF14 ) and one Catalyst 6509 ( with WS-SUP720-3B, IOS is 12.2(18)SXF17a ). We used WhatsUP to collect I/O & process memory utilization for both switches. The memory utilization for Catalyst 6509 was ok, but it seems not correct for Catalyst 6506 ( show proc memory displayed the total memory is 512MB, but the WhatsUP displayed only 64MB only )

What is used DDR memory on DFC on linecards for Cisco 7600 or Catalyst6500? I thought that DFC has copy of TCAMs from PFC. That PFC only has TCAMs, and it doesn't have DRAM on itself?
I've been said that if I have full BGP table in memory on supervisor on 6500 (that should be DRAM on RP on MSFC) that I also need 1GB additional memory on DFC on linecards? Is this true? But that should implied that DFC also has copy from MSFC not only from PFC, is this correct?

We have a switch Cisco Catalyst 2900 Series XL Model WS-C2924-XL-EN. 8 MB DRAM 4 MB FLASH
I already tried the discussions regarding flash_init dir_flash: boot and the likes.
By the way, I already downloaded the IOS for our switch through Cisco Website. Settings are default through Hyper Terminal
Here's the thing:
Whenever I transfer the .bin file using XMODEM, it prompted an error "Transfer cancelled by remote computer"

ISRG2 (c2951-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M1.bin) has 512 MB of DRAM. Periodically it runs out of memory: [code]
1. Why "show process mean" command shows less memory than 512 MB? Processor Pool (248 MB) + I/O Pool (58 MB) ~ 310 MB only?
2. *Init* process holds more memory than normal (202 MB). What may cause this?

I have a bootflash in 4507R with the size of 60MB. I upgraded the ios from cat4500-ipbasek9-mz.122-37.SG1.bin (12.8MB Size) to cat4500-entservices-mz.122-37.SG1.bin (13.8 MB SIZE) and deleted the previous IOS.But previous IOS is still getting shown in sh bootflash: command. Furthermore, dir bootflash: commands shows there is only one IOS , which is running. How I can free the space from bootflash , as I again have to upgrade the another new IOS ( of 16MB), which I tried through solarwinds tftp and couldn't upload successfully because of its limitation. Now, If I try to upload the new IOS through FTP, it gives me memory space error. How I can free the space captured by old IOS and also how I can delete the 3rd unknown entry of IOS (shown below output of commands)?
