Module: CASCADE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CASCADE-MIB::cardMemoryUtil

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.7.2.1.65

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Description: The percentage of system memory utilization on this intelligent card.

What is cardMemoryUtil?

This reports the percentage of the card's general system memory, not the frame-buffer-specific memory, currently in use. Distinct from cardFrameMemoryUtil, sustained growth here points to the card's software or control-plane processes consuming more memory over time, which is the metric to watch for a firmware memory leak rather than a data-plane congestion issue. For example, cardMemoryUtil climbing from 40 percent to 85 percent over two weeks with no configuration changes points to a slow leak in the card's management-plane software.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.7.2.1.65
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::cardMemoryUtil

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.7.2.1.65.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::cardMemoryUtil.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> cardMemoryUtil.1
