Greetings:

I've noticed that all of my Nokia firewalls are running at about 90-95% for memory usage. The load is very low on these firewalls, and some of them are hardly even active. Yet all of them report very small amounts of free memory.

Here's an example:

        Memory Utilization (KBs)
        Total Real Memory               262144
        Active Real Memory              251264
        Free Memory                       10880

This tells me that out of 262,144 Bytes (256 Megs of RAM), I only have 10.6 Megs of free memory. Now this is on the inactive node of a VRRP cluster, so it's not passing any traffic. The Load is very low at 0.26.

Is this normal behavior is am I having some sort of memory issue here?

TIA

TJ
