Chapter 9 Accessing and Monitoring PIX Firewall
Using SNMP
Verifying Memory Usage
You can determine how much free memory is available with the Cisco Memory Pool MIB. From the
PIX
Firewall command line, memory usage is viewed with the show memory command. The following
is sample output from the show memory command.
pix(config)# show memory
Free memory: 16751592 bytes
Used memory: 16802840 bytes
------------- ----------------
Total memory: 33554432 bytes
You can access the MIB objects from the following path:
.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco.ciscoMgmt.ciscoMemoryPoolMIB.
ciscoMemoryPoolObjects.ciscoMemoryPoolTable
Table 9-11 lists which objects provide memory usage information.
Ta b l e 9-11 Memory Usage Objects
Object Object Type Returned Value
ciscoMemoryPoolType
(table index)
CiscoMemoryPoolTypes 1 (Processor memory)
ciscoMemoryPoolName DisplayString PIX system memory
ciscoMemoryPoolAlternate Integer32 0 (No alternate memory pool)
ciscoMemoryPoolValid TruthValue true (Means that the values of the remaining objects are
valid)
ciscoMemoryPoolUsed Gauge32 integer (Number of bytes currently in use)
ciscoMemoryPoolFree Gauge32 integer (Number of bytes currently free)
ciscoMemoryPoolLargestFree Gauge32 integer (Number of bytes currently largest free)
In the HP OpenView Browse MIB application’s “MIB values” window a sample MIB query yields the
following information:
ciscoMemoryPoolName.1 :PIX system memory
ciscoMemoryPoolAlternate.1 :0
ciscoMemoryPoolValid.1 :true
ciscoMemoryPoolUsed.1 :12312576
ciscoMemoryPoolFree.1 :54796288
ciscoMemoryPoolLargestFree.1 :0
From this listing, the table index, ciscoMemoryPoolName, appears as the .1 value at the end of each
subsequent object value. The ciscoMemoryPoolUsed object lists the number of bytes currently in use,
12312576, and the ciscoMemoryPoolFree object lists the number of bytes currently free 54796288. The
other objects always list the values described in
Table 9-11.
