Hi ,
I am facing some memory leak problem on my 3600 Router. After few days the memory utlization goes till 100% and i am not able to login. When i reboot the router, then i am able to login.
I have taken the Sh tech output, following is the error it show.
--------------------------------
<a name="memory">MEMORY ANALYSIS</a>
--------------------------------
ERROR: The following processes are currently holding more than 1MB of
memory:
IP Input (Holding 16823772 bytes)
This is considered to be high and can indicate a memory leak.
INFO: A memory leak occurs when a process requests or allocates memory
and
then forgets to free (de-allocate) the memory when it is finished with
that
task. As a result, the memory block is reserved until the router is
reloaded.
Over time, more and more memory blocks are allocated by that process
until
there is no free memory available.
TRY THIS: Analyze the 'show process memory' output for this router
over a
period of time (for example, every few hours or days depending on
whether you
have a fast or slow leak).
Check to see if memory utilization for the affected process(es)
continues to
increase and the amount of freed memory remains the same. The rate at
which
free memory disappears depends on how often the event occurs that
leads to the
leak. A memory leak is a complex condition sometimes requiring an IOS
upgrade
to correct. If the above is in fact occurring, and you are uncertain
about how
to proceed, please contact the Cisco TAC for further assistance.
NOTE: It is normal for some processes, such as Border Gateway Protocol
(BGP)
or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), to use more than one megabyte of
memory;
this does not mean they are leaking.

Router has 64 Mb RAM and 32 MB Flash, only 2 Serial and 2 Fast ethernet.
Is this some hardware problem ?
