[j-nsp] High Memory Utilization on J2350

[Jensen Tyler]

The memory utilization in "Show chassis routing-engine" is misleading. Run a "Show system process extensive" look to see how much is free, Inact and Buf.(I think) Juniper has KB on this too.

Sample from M10:
Mem: 448M Active, 110M Inact, 117M Wired, 38M Cache, 69M Buf, 27M Free

Subject: [j-nsp] High Memory Utilization on J2350

I'm doing some RPM tests using two J2350 [1], both are connected to an
M10. Before any RPM configuration (or even any configuration or any
packet forwarding) the memory utilization of the router was around 86%
of 512 MB. I'm blaming this on the stateful firewall that is
preconfigured but I cannot find any evidence/document/ etc. to support
this. I have even deactivated the screen config and put all the
interfaces on the trust zone but the memory utilization stays at the
same level.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the memory utilization? I really
don't need the firewall feature.

Any help will be useful. Thanks,

Tomas L.

[1] Before somebody recommends using another router, let me explain: I
didn't choose that particular router; it was bought before I was hired
but now is my problem ;)
