[f-nsp] FastIron memory leak

[Rossella Mariotti-Jones]

Hi, all I've used on the my boxes to see traffic hitting the cpu that
could cause bottlenecks and slowdowns is the dm raw command, you can see

Subject: [f-nsp] FastIron memory leak

 

I have 4 FI800s that are exhibiting what I would call a memory leak.
The setup has not changed much in years, but the issue appears to have
been happening for a month or so.  The memory usage will increase daily
by about 2% until it maxes out, eventually requiring a reboot.  There is
nothing very special about the config, multiple vlans with virtual
interfaces.  Four switches total are deployed, 2 are utilizing static
routing.  One is running higher CPU utilization, but appears to be
normal and appropriate for number of L3 interfaces.  Code version
07.6.02dT53.  No errors, nothing particular in the log.  Traffic on the
boxes is not particularly heavy, there are maybe a dozen or so
interfaces running less than 1%, the key Gige uplinks are at about 6%.
To me it appears to be "bad traffic" not too much traffic.

Under IP statistics "other errors" is incrementing fairly quickly as is
"no port" number under UDP.  Tomorrow I am going to attempt to do some
packet captures and maybe capture some of the traffic.  Is there any way
to get more detail from the FastIron itself about the errors?
