Module: Fore-Switch-MIB
OID (symbolic): Fore-Switch-MIB::nshmemCurrentSharedMemory
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.5.1.2.1.9
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Access: read-only
Description: The current value of the used shared memory on this network module.
What is nshmemCurrentSharedMemory?
This read-only gauge reports the current amount of shared memory in use by a network module in a switching system, measured in units (typically kilobytes or bytes as defined by the system). Network operators track this value to monitor module resource consumption and detect memory leaks or unexpectedly high usage that could impact performance or stability. Trends in shared memory usage help operators plan capacity upgrades and optimize configuration.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.5.1.2.1.9 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-Switch-MIB::nshmemCurrentSharedMemory
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.5.1.2.1.9.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-Switch-MIB::nshmemCurrentSharedMemory.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> nshmemCurrentSharedMemory.1
