catalyst 2950 problem of memory

[hugo-girard]

Hi,

I have a cluster of 4 catalyst 2950.

The IOS is 12.1(22)EA12 with crypto and web device manager.

The SSH et HTTP server are activate.

The memory usage is always upper than 85%. Consequently, I get this message :

Nov 28 07:57:27: %SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL: Memory allocation of 98912 bytes failed from 0x803B6798, alignment 0

Pool: Processor Free: 49968 Cause: Not enough free memory

Alternate Pool: I/O Free: 341564 Cause: Memory fragmentation

How can I solve this problem ?

Thanks
